Narrative review outlines noncirrhotic portal hypertension manifestations across vascular resistance sites, highlighting distinct mechanisms in INCPH and EHPVO.
Cirrhosis is the commonest cause of portal hypertension (PH).[1] However, the development of PH in the absence of cirrhosis is frequent and is termed "noncirrhotic PH."This entity includes diverse conditions based on the resistance locations along the portal inflow and outflow tract (Figure 1).[2] In this review, we discuss idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) and extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) in detail.
