ABSTRACT
Portal hypertension-related complications are the major cause of death in patients with advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Hepatic venous pressure gradient is the golden standard for assessing portal hypertension, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is an important method for screening and assessing esophageal and gastric varices and its severity; both methods are invasive and inappropriate for portal hypertension screening and monitoring. Noninvasive approaches, such as transient elastography, acoustic radiation force impulse, and shear wave elastography, have been used for the evaluation of portal hypertension in ACLD patients, especially the screening, stratified diagnosis, and monitoring of clinically significant portal hypertension.
