A community of portal hypertension
- Abstract:
- Portal hypertension is an important, if not the most important, factor affecting the clinical course of patients with cirrhosis, as it can predict the development of cirrhosis-related complications, such as variceal bleeding, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy [1,2,3]. The management of portal hypertension should cover early screening and detection, primary prevention of complications, emergency care for variceal bleeding, and secondary prevention. Here, we propose a concept termed “A Community of Portal Hypertension” (Fig. 1), emphasizing multidisciplinary team (MDT)-oriented practice, innovation-oriented research, and patient-oriented care, to promote comprehensive management of portal hypertension.
