increased congestion index‚ and reversal of portal vein flow are a few of the sonographic findings associated with portal hypertension. The effects of portal hypertension can be controlled through diet‚ medications‚ endoscopic therapy‚ surgery‚ or radiology. Because portal hypertension cannot be treated‚ treatment focuses on preventing or managing the complications‚ especially the bleeding from the varices. These treatments include endoscopic therapy‚ TIPS‚ DSRS‚ liver transplant‚ and devascularization
