| − | *Portal hypertension
| |
| − | *Sustained impairment of forward venous flow anywhere along the path from the portal vein to the right side of the heart.
| |
| − | *Luminal (thrombosis, parasites) or extraluminal obstruction (hepatic fibrosis or nodular regeneration) or relative restriction of flow due to massive portal volume overload (arterioportal fistulas).
| |
| − | *Hepatomegaly associated with posthepatic obstruction
| |
| − | *Microhepatica – associated with prehepatic/hepatic causes.
| |
| − | *Hepatic encephalopathy and GI bleeding not associated with posthepatic causes.
| |
| − | *Most common causes are RHS heart failure and severe diffuse hepatobiliary disease that results in cirrhosis.
