Research advances in porto-sinusoidal vascular disease / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Porto-sinusoidal vascular disease （PSVD） is a new disease nomenclature proposed in recent years， which is an important supplement to idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. PSVD includes the patients with specific pathological conditions， but without portal hypertension symptoms， and the patients with portal vein thrombosis or viral hepatitis. This article elaborates on the naming， epidemiology， etiology， clinical manifestations， prognosis， and treatment of PSVD， in order to improve the understanding of this disease among clinicians.
