Abstract: Background & Aims: As liver disease progresses, scarring results in worsening hemodynamics ultimately culminate in portal hypertension. This process has classically been quantified via the Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG), however HVPG alone does not predict a given patient’s clinical presentation with regards to Baveno stage of cirrhosis. In this study we propose that a patient’s ‘HVPG-sensitivity’ to venous remodelingcould explain disparate disease trajectories.
