Book excerpt: Portal hypertension is the most important complication of a great variety of both acute and chronic liver diseases. Nevertheless, hepatic cirrhosis is the most frequent cause of portal hypertension. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to rupture of oesophageal varices is, without doubt, the most severe complication of portal hypertension. At present, great advances are being made in the pathophysiology and in the development of new therapeutic tools for controlling and preventing this severe clinical event. This book contains the papers presented and discussed during the Symposium on 'Portal Hypertension in the 21st Century', held in Montréal, Canada, in April 2004, and sponsored by Axcan Pharma Inc. and NicOx S.A. There are eight sections covering basic mechanisms, new drugs, prevention and current treatment of variceal bleeding, prevention of recurrent bleeding and hepatic hemodynamic monitoring. An international faculty of authors have contributed chapters at an outstanding scientific level which will be vital reading for scientists and clinicians alike.

Download or read book Portal Hypertension written by Kunio Okuda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-20 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portal hypertension is the abnormal pathophysiologic state that develops in liver cirrhosis and certain other disorders with characteristic clinical and hemodynamic features. There has been great progress in our under standing and management of portal hypertension, particularly in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The so-called Banti's syndrome, a disorder whose existence had long been questioned, is now a well-defined portal hypertensive disease. The recently introduced Doppler ftowmetry is currently yielding new information on portal hemodynamics. Endoscopic sclerotherapy and beta-blockers have come to be widely used in the man agement and prevention of variceal bleeding. In spite of all these advances, a number of unsolved questions remain, such as whether sclerotherapy, pharmacotherapy or surgery is warranted for prevention of bleeding, which is more effective as an elective treatment, the surgical or endoscopic approach, and whether surgical portacaval shunt should be totally replaced by selective shunt operations. These new developments and problems are clearly and comprehensively described and discussed by the foremost authorities in 44 chapters, which are divided into five sections: 1) Patho physiology, 2) Hemodynamic Investigations, 3) Imaging Investigations, 4) Clinical and Pathological Features, and 5) Esophageal and Gastrointestinal Bleeding. The primary goal of this monograph, to provide a framework of patho physiology of portal hypertension with authoritative descriptions of the clinical and laboratory manifestations of various portal hypertensive dis orders, has clearly been achieved by these excellent contributions.
Download or read book Portal Hypertension written by Gerond V. Lake-Bakaar and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Description:The cirrhotic liver is significantly more vulnerable to injury. This vulnerability is particularly evident after the advent of portal hypertension. In the normal liver, up to 75 percent can be resected without decompensation. By contrast, in the cirrhotic liver with portal hypertension, liver decompensation can occur even after less than 50 percent of the liver is resected.This book, "Portal Hypertension: New Insights" begins with an attempt to provide insights into this unanswered puzzle. The normal liver is soft and elastic. By contrast, the cirrhotic liver is inelastic and rigid. Flow in rigid tubes is governed by the Hagen-Poiseuille law. The law dictates that pressure gradient increases exponentially by the fourth power of the radius of the rigid sinusoid. This makes the cirrhotic liver virtually incapable of accommodating any increase in flow. The increase in pressure gradient is equivalent to the fourth power of the vessel radius.The first chapter explores the major new insight that decompensation in the cirrhotic liver is related to the loss of elasticity and the development of vessel wall rigidity, which thereafter subjects flow in the hepatic sinusoids to the Hagen-Poiseuille law.The rest of the book addresses portal hypertension in its clinical context. It invites the reader to survey multiple avenues associated with portal hypertension, including idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, INCPH and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD. It also includes chapters on relationships between portal hypertension, the gastrointestinal system and the renal system. In general, the book provides several new insights into portal hypertension.

Download or read book Portal Hypertension ECAB written by Abraham Koshy and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defined as a portal pressure of 12 mmHg or more, portal hypertension results from a combination of increased intrahepatic vascular resistance and increased blood flow through the portal venous system. Esophagogastric varices is the most important complication of severe portal hypertension because of the high risk of bleeding and mortality associated with them. Ascites is another important complication which may at times be refractory to treatment and may also get complicated by spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatorenal syndrome. Portal hypertension is a predictable and preventable condition but has no definite cure. An aggressive approach to prevention and treatment of portal hypertension is therefore warranted. Treatment of portal hypertension is evolving rapidly and many changes in the therapeutic protocols have been incorporated in recent times. Endoscopic treatment of the bleeding varices and prophylactic role of beta-blockers to prevent rebleeding are well-established therapeutic options. The measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient may identify a suboptimal response to beta-blockers in patients at risk of bleeding from varices. However, the costeffectiveness of routine hepatic venous pressure gradient measurements to guide primary prophylaxis has not been examined. Besides these, there is a definite role of somatostatin analogs and shunt surgeries in the treatment of portal hypertension and its complications. This book is designed to update the reader on all such issues related to diagnosis, treatment and complications of portal hypertension along with supportive typical case scenarios. Thus it provides an excellent opportunity to widen one’s perspective in this area.
