ABSTRACT
The establishment and perfection of the assessment system for chronic liver diseases have a guiding significance for clinical diag-nosis and treatment.Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG)is of great significance in the progression of chronic liver diseases,and it is the only pathophysiological index for treatment independent of etiology.The current methods for evaluation of chronic liver diseases are sim-ply described,and the application of HVPG in evaluation of chronic liver diseases is systematically summarized,including predicting the se-verity of liver cirrhosis,variceal bleeding risk and outcome of portal hypertension,development of cirrhotic ascites,efficacy of drugs for re-ducing portal hypertension and antiviral drugs,and postoperative outcome of liver cancer.It is thought that HVPG measurement plays an im-portant role in the assessment of the progression and prognosis of chronic liver diseases and is an effective predictor of outcome.
