<P> Portal hypertension is hypertension ( high blood pressure ) in the hepatic portal system , which are the portal vein and its branches , which drain from most of the intestines to the liver . Portal hypertension is defined as a hepatic venous pressure gradient . Cirrhosis ( a form of chronic liver failure ) is the most common cause of portal hypertension ; other , less frequent causes are therefore grouped as non-cirrhotic portal hypertension . When it becomes severe enough to cause symptoms or complications , treatment may be given to decrease portal hypertension itself or to manage its complications . </P>
