According to the new definition, the presence of known causes of liver disease as well as of portal vein thrombosis does not rule out PSVD. Therefore, the patients in whom the diagnosis of PSVD is possible are much more than the patients strictly fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for INCPH. In this setting, the clinical challenge for the hepatologist is to identify patients at risk of developing PSVD and to indicate liver biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. We describe some possible scenarios in which PSVD should always be suspected, and we provide some tools useful to reach the diagnosis of PSVD.Keywords: porto-sinusoidal vascular liver disease, idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, portal vein thrombosis, portal hypertensionGioia SRiggio ONardelli Sd'Amati GRidola LDove Medical Pressarticleporto-sinusoidal vascular liver diseaseidiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertensionportal vein thrombosisportal hypertensionDiseases of the digestive system.
