Abstract
Cirrhosis is termed as the late stage of progressive hepatic fibrosis characterized by the disruption of the hepatic parenchymal structure and the formation of regenerative nodules. Many factors play a role in the etiology of cirrhosis. Currently, mortality is still high and causes significant work loss. The prognosis of patients with cirrhosis is largely due to its complications. Treatment of cirrhosis is limited except liver transplantation. An important cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with cirrhosis is the development of variceal bleeding secondary to portal hypertension. The prognosis of patients with variceal bleeding depends on the bleeding or other complications is associated with underlying chronic liver disease and its management. The mortality rate due to active variceal bleeding is around 20 percent during each bleeding and re-bleeding is observed in 70 percent of patients within one year. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding unrelated to portal hypertension is also common in patients with portal hypertension (eg, peptic ulcer disease). In this article, we will talk about variceal bleeding secondary to portal hypertension and its treatment based on current data.
