[Novel advances following the integration of Baveno VII consensus definitions for the non-invasive testing of portal hypertension].

Abstract

Portal hypertension (PH) is a common and severe complication, which significantly affects patients with liver cirrhosis' quality of life and prognosis. In recent years, the assessment and management of PH have gradually gained attention, especially with the Baveno VII consensus, which proposed definitions for key events as well as the latest advances in its diagnosis and treatment method, emphasizing the diagnostic value of non-invasive tests (NITs) and providing novel perspectives for research in this field. This article reviews the existing literature to explore the application of novel NITs in the diagnosis of PH so as to provide prospects for their future development.
