Complications associated with portal hypertension are the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Until now, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) - the difference between the wedged hepatic venous pressure (WHVP) and the free hepatic vein pressure (FHVP)- has been the criterion standard to determine portal pressure. Antiviral therapy may decrease HVPG which needs to be verified.
