🔸Naltrexone is well tolerated
🔸It favors abstinence
🔸It reduces by 50% new onset decompensation

Paradigm shifts in 🤔 about portal hypertension by ⁦Guadalupe GarciaTsao⁩

🔸Prevent decompensation (NSBB in patients with CPTH)
🔸 LSM and Plt 🚫 EGD for 👀varices
🔸NSBB can be used in ascites if MAP>65, SBP>90
🔸After TIPs: NSBB if HVPG is >12
