Diagnostic Questions for Portal Hypertension
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Is your skin itchy?
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Have you gained more than 4.4 lbs / 2 kg in one month without trying?
- Do you feel that your abdomen or stomach is bloated?
- Is your face swollen?
Treatment of Portal Hypertension
Treatment focuses on managing the complications of portal hypertension. To manage water retention, the doctor may prescribe medications and restrictions on diet and water intake. To reduce pressure in varices (expanded blood vessels), medications may be prescribed. To manage variceal bleeding (bleeding from varices), an endoscopy (a flexible tube inserted through the mouth) may be needed to inject solution or deploy tiny rubber bands to tye off esophageal varices. If bleeding or complications persists, other treatments include a procedure to divert blood away from high-pressure areas or finally, a liver transplant.
