Portal Hypertension :
Portal hypertension can be described as elevated levels of blood pressure in the portal vein. The portal vein mainly helps in draining the blood from the intestines, pancreas, spleen, and stomach into the liver and then helps in the filtration of the blood to send it back to the heart. When there is a portal vein blockage, it can cause elevated pressure. Portal hypertension can occur due to various causes such as cirrhosis of liver, blood clots, granulomas of liver. The symptoms that can be experienced in case of portal hypertension are blood in stools, blood in vomiting, swollen foot and legs, confusion or mental disorientation, stomach bloating. The portal hypertension can be diagnosed based on the diagnostic tests such as blood tests, ultrasound scan, endoscopy, MRI scan, CT scan. The treatment for portal hypertension can be done with medications, paracentesis, dialysis, oxygen therapy, endoscopy. There are two shunt procedures such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS). In advanced stage of liver disease, liver transplant will be done.
