This book will be an excellent tool for practitioners seeking an
update on the latest developments in the diagnosis and management
of cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Among the topics addressed
are risk stratification, prognosis, screening and surveillance,
impact of etiological and antifibrotic therapy, the gut
microbiome and cirrhosis, prevention of decompensation/further
decompensation, management of the acute bleeding episode,
controversies in pediatrics, and vascular diseases of the liver
in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic portal hypertension. The book is a
compilation of lectures and important consensus statements from
the Sixth Baveno International Consensus Workshop on Portal
Hypertension, the most recent of a series of workshops held every
5 years for hepatologists with an interest in the field. Portal
Hypertension VI will serve as a reference book for clinical and
research fellows in Gastroenterology and Hepatology and should
inspire new research projects in the areas identified as
promising by the experts of the Baveno VI Faculty.
