Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG)
Computes the hepatic venous pressure gradient (wedged minus free hepatic vein pressure) and reads it against Baveno VII.
Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.
Example
- Wedged hepatic vein pressure
- 22 mmHg
- Free hepatic vein pressure
- 8 mmHg
- Cause of liver disease
- Viral or alcohol-related cirrhosis
Result: HVPG 14 mmHg: clinically significant portal hypertension (Baveno VII defines CSPH as 10 mmHg or more).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What you enter
- Wedged hepatic vein pressure
- Free hepatic vein pressure
- IVC pressure at the hepatic vein ostium
- Cause of liver disease
- Measured during acute variceal bleeding
- Signs of portal hypertension (varices, ascites, collaterals)
