  Author(s): Sipunika Bertici*
  
  Portal hypertension is a common complication of cirrhosis, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic liver disease. Non-invasive methods for diagnosing portal hypertension have emerged as valuable tools for risk stratification, treatment monitoring and prognostication in patients with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of non-invasive methods for portal hypertension diagnosis, including imaging techniques, serum biomarkers and transient elastography.
