Overview
There are no established risk factors for portal hypertension. Cirrhosis as the main cause of portal hypertension has various risk factors. Common risk factors in the development of cirrhosis include intravenous drug use (IVDU), tattooing or piercing in unhygienic condition, needlestick injury, blood transfusion before 1992, viral hepatitis, and unprotected sexual intercourse.
