Abstract：Portal hypertension is the consequence of increasing intrahepatic vascular resistance and increasing portal venous blood flow due to various causesis caused by various reasons intrahepatic vascular resistance increased and portal venous blood flow increase as a result, and is the main leading cause of death in cirrhosis severe complications (varices bleeding and refractory ascites), especially in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, early evaluation and treatment management of portal hypertension can effectively reduce the incidence of severe complications and mortality. At present, the measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient is well recognized as the gold standard for the evaluation of portal hypertension severity. Non-invasive diagnostic assessments have frequently emerged within recent years, but few technology is available for clinical application. Clinical treatment of portal hypertension includes drug therapy, endoscopic therapy, minimally invasive intervention, surgical operation and liver transplantation. This study aims to review new advance in diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension.
