Complications of portal hypertension such as gastroesophageal variceal hemorrhage, ascites, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, as well as pulmonary complications, are often responsible for diminished quality of life, excess morbidity and mortality, increased health care resource use and expenditure, and dropout from the liver transplant (LT) waiting list. Therefore, the care of LT candidates on the waiting list must be centered on anticipation and prompt intervention for these complications.
门静脉高压的并发症，如胃食管静脉曲张出血、腹水和自发性细菌性腹膜炎，以及肺部并发症，常常导致生活质量下降、发病率和死亡率过高、医疗资源使用和支出增加，以及从肝移植（LT）等待名单中退出。因此，对等待名单上的LT候选者的护理必须以对这些并发症的预期和及时干预为中心。
