Overview

The incidence of portal hypertension is approximately 25,000 cases per 100,000 individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The prevalence of cirrhosis, as the main cause of portal hypertension, is approximately 270 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States. The age-adjusted mortality rate of cirrhosis is approximately 18.1 deaths per 100,000 population, based on the report of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The incidence of portal hypertension increases in early 4th decade in females and early 3rd decade in males. Cirrhosis usually affects individuals of the non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans more likely. For unknown reason, portal hypertension is more prevalent among people of low socioeconomic state.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of cirrhosis, as the main cause of portal hypertension, is approximately 270 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[6]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

Age

  • The incidence of portal hypertension increases in early 4th decade in females and early 3rd decade in males.[2]
  • Idiopathic portal hypertension commonly affects individuals between 43-56 years old.[8]
  • Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension commonly affects individuals between 25-35 years old.[8]

Race

  • Cirrhosis usually affects individuals of the non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican Americans more likely.[6]
  • Mortality rates for white males, black males, white females, and black females declined by 43.2, 70.1, 40.2, and 76.5 percent, respectively.[7]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected by idiopathic portal hypertension than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.[8]
  • Females are more commonly affected by non-cirrhotic portal hypertension than males. The female to male ratio is approximately 3 to 1.[8]

Developed Countries and Developing Countries

  • For unknown reason, portal hypertension is more prevalent among people of low socioeconomic state.[9]
  • The prevalence of the portal hypertension is decreased over the years in Japan, maybe because of hygiene and health improvement.[10]
