Correlation of HVPG level with ctp score, MELD Score, ascites, size of varices, and etiology in cirrhotic patients

Abstract

HVPG levels were significantly higher in patients in CTP class C as compared with those in CTP classes A and B, thereby indicating that an HVPG measurement correlates with severity of liver disease. A high HVPG level signifies more severe liver disease and can predict the major complications of cirrhosis.
