National Consensus on Portal Hypertension Management in Indonesia
Acta Medica Indonesiana, 2022 Portal hypertension is a clinical syndrome that consists of hypersplenism, ascites, gastroesophageal varices, and encephalopathy. This condition is marked by increased portal pressure gradient and may occur with or without liver cirrhosis.

Advanced Genetics, EarlyView.Here, causal relations are examined between 2940 plasma proteins and 19 cardiovascular diseases (CVD) using a human genetics‐based method. 218 proteins are found whose blood levels influence CVD risks, with about half being new discoveries and largely confirmed in an independent cohort.

Arterial stiffening provides sufficient explanation for primary hypertension [PDF]
, 2013 Hypertension is one of the most common age-related chronic diseases and by predisposing individuals for heart failure, stroke and kidney disease, it is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Its etiology remains enigmatic despite intense research efforts over many decades.

Biology of portal hypertension [PDF]
Hepatology International, 2017 Portal hypertension develops as a result of increased intrahepatic vascular resistance often caused by chronic liver disease that leads to structural distortion by fibrosis, microvascular thrombosis, dysfunction of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation.

Portal hypertension is associated with modulation of regulatory T cells
European Journal of Inflammation, 2016 Background: Portal hypertension is a complication of liver cirrhosis. The portal vein drains the spleen and the intestines, which are both rich in inflammatory mediators.

Imaging-guided interventions modulating portal venous flow: Evidence and controversiesKey points
JHEP Reports, 2022 Summary: Portal hypertension is defined by an increase in the portosystemic venous gradient. In most cases, increased resistance to portal blood flow is the initial cause of elevated portal pressure.
