Brief Summary:
Portal hypertension is a common and serious complication of liver cirrhosis, often leading to life-threatening conditions such as variceal bleeding, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy.
Detailed Description:
Early detection and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes. While invasive methods such as hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement are the gold standard for diagnosis, they are costly and not widely available. Ultrasound, particularly Doppler imaging, offers a non-invasive, cost- effective alternative for assessing portal hypertension.This study aims to determine the frequency of portal hypertension among patients with cirrhotic liver using ultrasound.
