Liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension (PHT) are two closely related conditions that affect the liver and can lead to serious complications.
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and progressive condition in which healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, leading to impaired liver function. It is commonly caused by long-term liver damage from various factors, such as excessive alcohol consumption, chronic viral hepatitis (hepatitis B or C), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, autoimmune liver diseases, or certain genetic disorders.
Portal hypertension refers to increased blood pressure within the portal vein, which is the major blood vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. In liver cirrhosis, the scarring of liver tissue disrupts blood flow through the liver, causing resistance to blood flow and increased pressure in the portal vein.
