Abstract
Peripheral vasculature in portal hypertension is characterized by hyperdynamic circulation, decreased effective circulating volume, the peripheral venous ‘sump’ effect, and arterial splenic vasodilation. Also, the autonomic nervous system plays a key role in modulation of vasomotor activity. Pathogenetic mechanisms associated with hyperdynamic circulation are known as nitric oxide, endocannabinoids, humoral agents, bile acids, central neural activation, and inflammation. Several studies have reported strategies to reverse the abnormal change of peripheral vasculature in patients with portal hypertension.
