Overview

The exact pathogenesis in portal hypertension is disturbance in normal physiology of portocaval circulation. The main factors that affect the pressure gradient in blood vessels are blood flow (Q) and vessel radius (r) in a direct and inverse way, respectively. Portal hypertension is related to elevation of portal vasculature resistance. Peripheral vasodilatation is the basis for decreased systemic vascular resistance and mean arterial pressure, plasma volume expansion, elevated splanchnic blood flow, and elevated cardiac index. Fourteen different genes are involved in the pathogenesis of portal hypertension. Homozygous missense mutation in DGUOK gene is found to be related with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. On gross pathology, cirrhotic liver, splenomegaly, and esophageal varices are characteristic findings in portal hypertension. The main microscopic histopathological findings in portal hypertension are related to cirrhosis, esophageal varices, hepatic amyloidosis, and congestive hepatopathy due to heart failure or Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

  • Vascular resistance (R) has to be measured through Pouseuille’s law formula:

η= Viscosity; L= Length of vessel; r= Radius of vessel; π=22/7

  • When the (R) measurement formula is integrated in Ohm's law it becomes as the following:



 
 
• Anatomical (irreversible component)
• Functional/vascular tone (reversible component)
 
 
 
 
 
• Opening of pre-existing vascular channels
• Formation of new vascular channels
 
• Systemic vasodilation (r)
• Increasing plasma volume (Q)
