What Is Portal Hypertension?

Portal hypertension is a condition caused by liver disease. It's a type of high blood pressure (hypertension), but instead of affecting the entire body, it mostly affects the portal veins leading from the intestines to the liver. It's a significant complication of alcoholic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, and can cause swelling and bleeding.
