Agreement between wedged hepatic venous pressure and portal pressure in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related cirrhosis.

Wedge hepatic vein pressure (WHVP) accurately estimates portal pressure (PP) in alcohol or viral hepatitis-related cirrhosis. Whether this also holds true in cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the agreement between WHVP and PP in patients with NASH cirrhosis in comparison with patients with alcohol or hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis.
