Abstract
Portal venous hypertension is a common end point of most chronic diseases of the liver. Portal hypertension can be caused less frequently by obstruction of the main portal vein by thrombus or tumor or by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow from the liver (Budd-Chiari syndrome). However, most cases of portal hypertension seen in internal medicine practices are caused by alcoholic cirrhosis or advanced chronic viral hepatitis. The most common deadly consequence of severe portal hypertension is bleeding from varices of the esophagus and stomach, but other sequelae such as intractable ascites are common and difficult to treat medically.
