Sažetak

Liver diseases are currently the eleventh leading cause of global mortality, and
cirrhosis holds the ninth position among the causes of death in Europe. The progression of cirrhosis
gives rise to complications such as portal hypertension (PH), liver failure, and development of
hepatocellular carcinoma. PH plays a pivotal role in the advancement of chronic liver disease and
stands as an independent predictor of mortality in individuals with cirrhosis. Given the numerous
updates in the classification, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for PH, the adoption of national
guidelines has become imperative to enhance the care of this patient population. In the wake of
Baveno VII consensus, as well as the recently published data, the working group of the Croatian
Society of Gastroenterology drafted the guidelines that were discussed and agreed during 2023.
Herein, we present a condensed version highlighting the key recommendations.
