Analysis of 833 times measured hepatic venous pressure gradient / 中华肝脏病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To summarize and analyze the clinical data of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and to explore the application value of HVPG in the diagnosis, evaluation and clinical treatment of portal hypertension in cirrhosis.@*Methods@#The patient data of HVPG measurement performed in Shandong Provincial Hospital from April 2010 to November 2017 were collected.@*Results@#A total of 633 patients with 833 times of HVPG measurements were included. There was significant difference in HVPG between patients with different etiologies, different Child-pugh grades and different degrees of decompensated cirrhosis.@*Conclusion@#The HVPG test is suitable for the diagnosis and evaluation of portal hypertension. The HVPG of patients with different severity of liver cirrhosis can guide the choice of the treatment plan, and the HVPG measurement should also be strictly standardized and quality control.
