UNASSIGNED: Portal @entity101 is one of the most serious complications of @entity409 , and @entity548 is the most feared complication. Most portal @entity101 results from @entity82 but extra @entity99 is the single commonest cause. Upper @entity344 remains necessary to diagnose gastro-esophageal varices. Families of @entity1 with portal @entity101 should be provided with written instructions in case of @entity360 . @entity1 with large varices should be considered for primary prophylaxis on a case-by-case basis. The preferred method is variceal band ligation. @entity1 with @entity548 should be admitted to hospital and treated with antibiotics and pharmacotherapy before urgent therapeutic endoscopy. All @entity1 who have bled should then receive secondary prophylaxis. The preferred method is variceal band ligation and as yet there is little evidence to support the use of b-blockers. @entity1 with extrahepatic @entity6315 should be assessed for suitability of mesoportal bypass.
