Abstract:
Liver cirrhosis is the end stage of liver disease, and decompensated liver cirrhosis has the significant feature of portal hypertension. At present, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the “gold standard” for evaluating portal hypertension and thus has great significance in clinical practice. This article elaborates on the value of HVPG in predicting end events in compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis and the application of HVPG in evaluating the therapeutic effect of drugs in the treatment of portal hypertension, so as to provide a basis for early prediction, early prevention, and early intervention of portal hypertension in clinical practice.
