Portal Hypertension
What is Portal Hypertension?
Portal hypertension is a condition where there is increased pressure in the portal vein, which carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. It usually develops due to liver diseases like cirrhosis and can lead to serious complications if not managed properly.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment help control pressure, reduce risks, and prevent life-threatening complications such as bleeding or fluid buildup.
If you have liver disease or cirrhosis, regular monitoring can help detect portal hypertension early.
