Abstract:
Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) refers to the increase in pulmonary artery pressure on the basis of portal hypertension, which may lead to progressive right ventricular failure and death with disease progression. POPH has a low incidence rate and is often neglected by clinicians due to a lack of symptoms or the presence of non-specific symptoms in the early stage. This article summarizes the research advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of POPH in recent years, introduces the noninvasive detection methods currently available for POPH diagnosis, and explores the selection of appropriate treatment methods based on the severity and individualized conditions of patients with POPH, so as to improve the understanding of this disease among clinicians.
