Abstract:
The Baveno Cooperation is a consortium of internationally renowned experts committed to setting standards for the clinical management of patients with advanced chronic liver disease, with a particular emphasis on complications related to portal hypertension. Updated every five years and endorsed by major scientific societies, the Baveno recommendations have significantly influenced clinical practice and improved patient outcomes worldwide. The latest Baveno consensus, Baveno VII, provided a series of recommendations that have shifted our understanding of chronic liver disease and portal hypertension and profoundly shaped clinical practice. However, many areas of research remain to be explored in the short to intermediate term to enable a more personalized medicine approach. This review highlights some of the most relevant advancements introduced in Baveno VII and discusses future challenges.
