Abstract:Background: Portal vein pressure (PVP) is crucial in the diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and prognosis of portal hypertension (PHT). At present, the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and the portal vein pressure gradient (PPG) are the main approaches for portal pressure measurement. However, HVPG and PPG are limited in application due to invasive operations and high requirements for medical conditions. A more convenient way to measure portal pressure is demanded. Objectives: To detect whether the endosc… Show more
