Steatohepatitis induces significant portal hypertension (PHT) in the absence of fibrosis, associated with an increase in mesenteric arterial and portal venous flow, arterial hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors and a decrease in MABP, indicating the presence of splanchnic vasodilation and hyperdynamic circulation. These alterations resemble those seen in cirrhotic PHT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
