Signs and symptoms of portal hypertension include: * Ascites (free fluid in the peritoneal cavity), * Abdominal pain or tenderness (when bacteria infect the ascites, as in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis). * Increased spleen size (splenomegaly), which may lead to lower platelet counts (thrombocytopenia) * Anorectal varices * Swollen veins on the anterior abdominal wall (sometimes referred to as caput medusae) In addition, a widened (dilated) portal vein as seen on a CT scan or MRI may raise the suspicion about portal hypertension. A cutoff value of 13 mm is widely used in this regard, but the diameter is often larger than this is in normal individuals as well.
