Hi. In EHPVO main symptoms are variceal bleed and hemetemesis (blood in vomiting), ascites (fluid in abdomen) and jaundice can occur subsequently. Treatment is check endoscopy to rule out esophageal and gastric varices. On the basis of symptoms you may require shunt surgery or later may be a liver transplant in case cirrhosis goes bad. please consult a gastroenterologist for the same. Thanks.
