[Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension]
Abstract
A chronic increase of the portal venous pressure is not only a sequel of liver cirrhosis. There is a large group of different diseases leading to "non-cirrhotic portal hypertension". Clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. The discrimination between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is important for the understanding of differences in clinical signs and course of the diseases, however.
