What is Understanding Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis about?
Cirrhosis is characterized by the replacement of healthy liver cells with scar tissue, leading to irreversible liver function deterioration and complications such as portal hypertension, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. It is a significant health issue in the U.S., often resulting from chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and other less common causes. Diagnosis typically involves imaging and liver biopsy, while treatment focuses on managing complications and preventing further liver damage.
