Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
In general, PPH is diagnosed 4-7 years after the patient is diagnosed with portal hypertension[1] and in roughly 65% of cases, the diagnosis is actually made at the time of invasive hemodynamic monitoring following anesthesia induction prior to liver transplantation.[2]
