Resumen

Definición La hipertensión portal se desarrolla progresivamente en el curso natural de la enfermedad hepática crónica y es el factor pronóstico principal de la misma. Sus consecuencias (hemorragia por rotura de varices esofágicas o gástricas, ascitis, síndrome hepatorrenal, peritonitis bacteriana espontánea, encefalopatía hepática y síndrome hepatopulmonar, entre otras) representan la principal causa de muerte y de trasplante hepático en los pacientes cirróticos. Manifestaciones clínicas Las manifestaciones clínicas de la hipertensión portal pueden aparecer cuando el gradiente de presión portal aumenta por encima del umbral de 10 mm Hg, valor que define la hipertensión portal clínicamente significativa. Tratamiento El tratamiento de elección en la hemorragia aguda por varices es la combinación de tratamiento endoscópico, preferiblemente ligadura endoscópica con bandas y tratamiento farmacológico vasoconstrictor, con somatostatina o terlipresina. La hemorragia por varices esofágicas tiene una alta mortalidad, superior al 20%, por lo que es fundamental establecer tratamientos preventivos, tanto primarios como de recidiva.
