Portal Hypertension
Portal hypertension is a condition characterized by abnormally high blood pressure in the portal vein, with a hepatic venous pressure gradient exceeding 5 mmHg, often due to liver cirrhosis in Western societies. This elevated pressure disrupts the blood flow from the digestive organs to the liver, with clinically significant portal hypertension occurring at pressures greater than 10 mmHg.
