Cirrhosis is the most frequent reason for portal hypertension. In cirrhosis, the higher resistance is mostly due to changes in the structure of the liver (fibrosis and regenerating nodules). However, around one‐third of the increased resistance is caused by the narrowing of blood vessels inside the liver, which can be treated with medications that widen the blood vessels. A record was created and all the patient’s demographic and clinical information was documented. Ultrasound was performed on all patients by trained and experienced radiologists. All patients underwent standard blood tests. A record was created and all the patient’s demographic and clinical information was documented. Ultrasound was performed on all patients by trained and experienced radiologists. All patients underwent standard blood tests. The authors determine that ultrasound is a useful diagnostic method in patients with portal hypertension to evaluate the extent of the condition. Nevertheless, additional research is advised.
