The Pathology of Schistosomiasis

  • Chapter
Portal Hypertension

Abstract

Schistosomiasis japonica is an endemic disease in Japan [1], and, in addition to idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) [2,3], is one of the acknowledged diseases which may result in noncirrhotic portal hypertension. Hemodynamic studies also suggest a presinusoid portal block, demonstrating a large gradient between portal venous pressure and wedged hepatic vein pressure.
