Portopulmonary hypertension (PPHTN) refers to pulmonary arterial hypertension that is associated with portal hypertension; it is a well-recognized complication of portal hypertension due to chronic liver disease or extrahepatic causes [1-3].

Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH), a subset of group 1 pulmonary hypertension (PH), is a serious pulmonary vascular disease secondary to portal hypertension, and is the fourth most common subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Portopulmonary hypertension (PPH) [1] is defined by the coexistence of portal and pulmonary hypertension. PPH is a serious complication of liver disease, present in 0.25 to 4% of all patients with cirrhosis. Once an absolute contraindication to liver transplantation, it is no longer, thanks to rapid advances in the treatment of this condition. [2]

Portopulmoanry hypertension (POPH) is a form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with portal hypertension with or without underlying chronic liver disease. POPH is increasingly recognized and recent evidence suggests that it is one of the leading causes of PAH.

2024年1月24日 · Portopulmonary hypertension is a complication of portal hypertension characterized by increased blood pressure in the arteries that supply your lungs with oxygen.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an umbrella term for elevated pulmonary pressures of any cause. In contrast, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a specific disease of the small, precapillary pulmonary arteries.

Portopulmonary hypertension is pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with portal hypertension without other secondary causes. Pulmonary hypertension occurs in patients with various conditions that lead to portal hypertension with or without cirrhosis .

2023年10月1日 · Portal hypertension is characterized by a high pressure gradient (> 5 mm Hg) between the portal venous system and the hepatic veins. 2 It is usually caused by liver cirrhosis, although noncirrhotic causes such as congenital hepatic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, and schistosomiasis are occasionally seen.

Portopulmonary hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is elevated in the arteries of the lungs, called the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary hypertension), and in the portal vein (which drains blood from the liver), and no cause for pulmonary hypertension can be found.

2023年7月21日 · Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH), a subset of group 1 pulmonary hypertension (PH), is a serious pulmonary vascular disease secondary to portal hypertension, and is the fourth most common subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
