The article analyzes the etiological factors, clinical features and methods of correction of portal hypertension in the absence of cirrhosis. The characteristic feature of portal hypertension that develops in the absence of cirrhosis of the liver is the absence of signs of liver failure or lesser severity and its occurrence in the later stages of development. The mortality of these patients is associated with episodes of bleeding from esophageal and gastric varices and other more rare localizations. The use of existing and elaboration of new more effective methods of prevention and treatment of bleeding from varicose veins, developing as a result of the formation of portacaval anastomoses is the key to improving treatment of this category of patients.
