Persistent varices in cured patients: Understanding the role of hepatic venous pressure gradient [PDF]

JHEP Reports
Background & Aims: Etiologic factor removal (ER) drives recompensation and improves portal hypertension in cirrhosis. Esophageal varices (EV) and portosystemic shunts (PSS) have been found in patients despite hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG ...

Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient in Fontan Physiology Has Limited Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance [PDF]

CJC Open, 2020
Background: Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is measure of portal pressure and a prognostic tool in patients with viral and alcoholic cirrhosis; its utility is unknown in patients with Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD).

NON-INVASIVE PREDICTORS OF PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS C VIRUS RELATED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 2015
The reference standard for portal venous pressure measurement which is clinically important for estimating the feasibility of resection of hepatocellular carcinoma is the hepatic venous pressure gradient, which is invasive and expensive.
