Hepatic venous portal gradient (HVPG) measurement is a procedure used to assess the pressure within the portal vein and the hepatic vein. It is an important diagnostic tool in evaluating portal hypertension, a condition characterized by increased pressure in the portal vein system, often associated with liver disease.
Overall, HVPG measurement is a valuable tool in the assessment and management of portal hypertension, providing essential information for risk stratification, treatment decisions, and prognostic assessment in patients with liver disease and portal hypertension. Close monitoring, adherence to aseptic techniques, and post-procedure care are essential to minimize risks and optimize patient outcomes.
