Portal hypertension is a condition characterized by increased blood pressure within the portal vein, which carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. It is commonly caused by liver cirrhosis, but it can also result from portal vein thrombosis or other liver diseases. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as esophageal varices, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. Portal hypertension treatment in Indore focuses on managing the underlying cause, preventing bleeding, and reducing complications. Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari provides expert care with a multidisciplinary approach to ensure better outcomes.
Many patients may not experience symptoms initially. As the condition progresses, they may develop enlarged veins (varices) in the esophagus or stomach, which can rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding. Other complications include fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites), splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), confusion (hepatic encephalopathy), and jaundice.
Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari focuses on treating the root cause, such as liver cirrhosis or thrombosis. Medical management includes beta-blockers and diuretics to reduce portal pressure. For bleeding varices, endoscopic band ligation or sclerotherapy is performed. In severe cases, advanced interventions like TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) or surgical shunts are considered. Nutritional support and lifestyle modifications are part of comprehensive care.
With expertise in liver and portal circulation disorders, Dr. Kripa Shankar Tiwari ensures precise diagnosis, effective management, and continuous monitoring to prevent life-threatening complications.
