pubmed:abstractText
An elevated portal vein pressure is an important factor in the onset of portal hypertensive gastropathy associated with liver cirrhosis, and propranolol or vasopressin (drugs with a portal hypotensive effect) are used to treat this problem. It has been reported that angiotensin II receptor antagonists, which were developed as antihypertensive agents, also have a portal hypotensive effect, but their usefulness for portal hypertensive gastropathy is unclear. In this study, the angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan was administered to 16 portal hypertensive gastropathy patients, and its clinical usefulness was examined.
