  • Title: [Gastric mucosa injuries in portal hypertension].
    Author: Piñero R, Urquiola G, Yaraure M, Pacheco M, Poleo JR.
    Journal: G E N; 1993; 47(4):239-42. PubMed ID: 8050702.
    Abstract:
    Portal Hypertension (PH) was diagnosed in 114/4145 patients (p) evaluated by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during 1991-92 (2.75%). Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) was found in 39.47% p. Mild PHG was observed in 82.22% and esophageal varices grade was directly correlated to PHG presence. This is a new entity to be considered because of its bleeding possibility in PH patients.
