Pregnancy in Idiopathic Non-Cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: A Multicentric Study on Maternal and Fetal Management and Outcome

Idiopathic portal hypertension, non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis and idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) indicate the same clinical entity.[1] These terms, thereafter referred to as INCPH, designate a heterogeneous group of liver diseases causing portal hypertension and characterized by the absence of cirrhotic modification of the liver parenchyma and the patency of the portal and hepatic veins. Liver histological lesions found in patients with INCPH include obliterative portal venopathy, hepatoportal sclerosis, nodular regenerative hyperplasia and incomplete septal cirrhosis.
