Overview
Diagnostic study of choice for diagnosing portal hypertension is to measure Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). HVPG measurement is the difference between hepatic venous wedge pressure (HVWP) and free hepatic venous pressure (FHVP). HVPG reflects the intra-sinusoidal pressure. HVPG is measured through insertion of a catheter in right internal jugular vein.

Hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement
- Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement is the difference between hepatic venous wedge pressure (HVWP) and free hepatic venous pressure (FHVP).
- HVPG reflects the intra-sinusoidal pressure.[1]
- HVPG is measured through insertion of a catheter in right internal jugular vein.[2]
