Abstract:
Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard for the degree of cirrhotic portal hypertension and has limited use in clinical application, and therefore, there is an urgent need for noninvasive assessment methods for portal hypertension. This article introduces various serological, imaging, and elastography methods and combined diagnostic models and elaborates on the current research results and the advantages and disadvantages of each method. It is pointed out that in future, noninvasive diagnostic techniques may play a greater role in screening, monitoring, and risk stratification of patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.
