A Review and Case Discussion on a Rare Cause of Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension
Copyright © 2022, Tan et al..
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a rare cause of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension that should be considered in patients with no risk factors for chronic liver disease or in any unusual presentation of variceal hemorrhage. We present a case of an 82-year-old Chinese female, with a history of previous metastatic sigmoid carcinoma with oxaliplatin use, who presented with melena. A gastroscopy done revealed one column of grade 3 esophageal varix, two columns of grade 2 esophageal varices, and a type 1 gastroesophageal varix with stigmata of recent hemorrhage. Cyanoacrylate glue therapy was performed without any complications. A follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging of the abdomen did not reveal any significant features of cirrhosis or venous thrombosis, and the decision was made for a transjugular liver biopsy with hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement. The measured HVPG was 6 mmHg, and the liver biopsy showed features consistent with NRH.
