User:Skam1279/Portal hypertension/Bibliography

You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
Signs & symptoms section: add hematemesis from bleeding esophageal or gastric varices

Pathophysiology section: separate into two sections -- cirrhotic vs non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. Update & describe further the pathophysiology of each.

Add a section for "Complications" and describe the pathophysiology of those. These complications include ascites, SBP, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, portopulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy.

Update treatments that are already present on the wiki. Add treatments for the complications not already reflected in the treatment section.

''I think overall you have a good plan of the changes you intend to make. I'll provide more specific feedback/questions below:''


 * The current pathophys section is definitely pretty sparse right now, so I think it's great that you plan to separate it into cirrhotic vs non-cirrhotic and explain those further. I think it will provide a better understanding for anyone reading this page.
 * For the complications: ascites and SBP are also listed in the signs and symptoms. Are you planning on adding any further description to those under the signs and symptoms section about how they can also be considered complications or likewise adding some clarification about that in the complications section? Hopefully the way I've phrased this makes sense, but if not, just let me know, and I can try to explain further!
 * For the treatment section: I agree with your current plant. Medstud15 (talk) 01:14, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
