In cirrhosis, scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, leading to obstruction of blood flow through the liver. This obstruction increases pressure in the portal vein and its tributaries, resulting in portal hypertension. High-Yield Takeaway: When thinking about the causes of portal hypertension, always remember the classification: Pre-hepatic, Intra-hepatic, and Post-hepatic. Intra-hepatic causes, overwhelmingly dominated by cirrhosis, are the most common by far. #portalhypertension #cirrhosis #liver Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
