Overview
Many conditions can result in portal hypertension. In North America and Europe, it is usually the result of an intrahepatic block due to cirrhosis of the liver. However, in less industrialized parts of the world, climate permitting, the major cause is schistosomiasis.

- Cirrhosis
- Fatty liver
- Fulminant hepatic failure
- Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Osteomyelosclerosis
- Partial nodular transformation
