Popis: Portal Hypertension (PH) was diagnosed in 114/4145 patients (p) evaluated by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during 1991-92 (2.75%). Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) was found in 39.47% p. Mild PHG was observed in 82.22% and esophageal varices grade was directly correlated to PHG presence. This is a new entity to be considered because of its bleeding possibility in PH patients.
