various combinations in an individual patient. Pathophysiology,
diagnosis and latest guidelines for management of portal hypertension
with variceal hemorrhage, ascites, spontaneous bacterial
peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome,
hepatopulmonary syndrome, and hepatocellular carcinoma are
each discussed in detail.
