Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) refers to changes in the stomach lining caused by elevated blood pressure in the portal vein (the main vein that leads to the liver). This increase in blood pressure in the portal vein is known as portal hypertension. It is commonly caused by cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
The term portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) defines a wide spectrum of diffuse macroscopic lesions that appear in the gastric mucosa of patients with portal hypertension. Histologically, these lesions correspond to dilated vessels in the mucosa and submucosa in the absence of erosions or inflammation.

Portal hypertensive gastropathy refers to changes in the mucosa of the stomach in patients with portal hypertension; by far the most common cause of this is cirrhosis of the liver. These changes in the mucosa include friability of the mucosa and the presence of ectatic blood vessels at the surface.
Gastritis and gastropathy are conditions that affect the stomach lining, also known as the mucosa. In gastritis, the stomach lining is inflamed. In gastropathy, the stomach lining is damaged, but little or no inflammation is present.
Portal hypertension is a leading side effect of cirrhosis. Your body carries blood to your liver through a large blood vessel called the portal vein. Cirrhosis slows your blood flow and puts stress on the portal vein. This causes high blood pressure known as portal hypertension.
