| portal hypertension | Any increase in the portal vein (in the liver) pressure due to anatomic or functional obstruction (for example alcoholic cirrhosis) to blood flow in the portal venous system. Indicators of portal hypertension are: oesophageal varices, haemorrhoids, enlarged veins on the anterior abdominal wall (caput Medusae) and ascites (fluid within the abdominal cavity). (27 Sep 1997) |

| portal hypertension: classification | <radiology> Presinusoidal, extrahepatic: portal vein obstruction (extrinsic compression, phlebitis, OC, coagulopathy, tumour invasion, pancreatitis, neonatal omphalitis), dynamic: traumatic/neoplastic arterioportal fistula, segmental portal hypertension: splenic/superior mesenteric vein occlusion, intrahepatic (obstruction of portal venules): congenital hepatic fibrosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, sarcoid, myelofibrosis, schistosomiasis, idiopathic noncirrhotic fibrosis, Wilson disease, reticuloendotheliosis, Felty syndrome, chronic malaria, toxic fibrosis (arsenic, copper, PVC vapors) sinusoidal, cirrhosis, sclerosing cholangitis postsinusoidal, Budd-Chiari syndrome, constrictive pericarditis, congestive heart failure (12 Dec 1998) |
| postpartum hypertension | <obstetrics> Increased blood pressure immediately following the completion of labour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary hypertension | Hypertension without known cause. Synonym: idiopathic hypertension, primary hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary hypertension | Arterial hypertension produced by a known cause, e.g., hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, etc., in contrast to primary hypertension that is of unknown cause. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertension | <cardiology> Persistently high arterial blood pressure. Hypertension may have no known cause (essential or idiopathic hypertension) or be associated with other primary diseases (secondary hypertension). This condition is considered a risk factor for the development of heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke and kidney disease. (29 Sep 1997) |
| hypertension, malignant | Severe hypertension characterised by papilledema and necrosis of small arteries and arterioles. The diastolic pressure is generally greater than 130 mm hg. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypertension, portal | Abnormally increased pressure in the portal venous system; frequently seen in cirrhosis of the liver and in other conditions which cause obstruction of the portal vein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypertension, renal | Hypertension due to renal diseases, especially chronic parenchymal disease. Hypertension as a result of compression or obstruction of the renal artery or its branches is hypertension, renovascular. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypertension, renovascular | Hypertension due to compression or obstruction of the renal artery or its branches. (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic venous hypertension | Increased pressure in the veins ultimately leading to the right atrium nearly always due to disease of the right heart but occasionally due to blockade of one or both venae cavae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic hypertension | Hypertension without known cause. Synonym: idiopathic hypertension, primary hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intracranial hypertension | Increased pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid. If symmetrically distributed it may have few neurologic symptoms (e.g., pseudotumour cerebri), but if it is asymmetrical (as in hydrocephalus), neurological symptoms are often severe. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ocular hypertension | A condition in which the intraocular pressure is elevated above normal and which may lead to glaucoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| essential hypertension | Hypertension without known cause. Synonym: idiopathic hypertension, primary hypertension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulmonary hypertension |
Elevated blood pressure in the lungs...When the resistance to blood flow in the lungs goes up, the pressure in the pulmonary arteries also increases. The presence of pulmonary hypertension indicates either high blood flow, high resistance, or both. If left untreated, this can lead to heart failure, cyanosis, and eventually serious consequences including death. However, some patients tolerate elevated pressures in the lung arteries for many years.

| pulmonary hypertension |
A term a doctor may use when talking about high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. This occurs when oxygen levels in the alveoli in the lungs are low because of lung disease or because fresh air does not get into the lungs due to a blockage in the oropharynx caused by OSA.

| pulmonary hypertension |
Elevated pressure of blood flowing into the lungs, caused by the left to right shunting through a septal defect (see Pulmonary Hypertension Topic Note).

| pulmonary hypertension |
Pulmonary hypertension occurs in the lungs when blood pressure in the pulmonary artery--the blood vessel from the heart to the lungs--rises above normal levels.
