Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer. However, H. pylori is even involved in extragastric diseases, and it has been hypothesized that H. pylori could be a risk factor for several hepatic diseases. For instance, a direct involvement of H. pylori in the development of portal hypertension (PH) in cirrhotic patients has been postulated.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common cause of gastritis and peptic ulcer. However, H. pylori is even involved in extragastric diseases, and it has been hypothesized that H. pylori could be a risk factor for several hepatic diseases. For instance, a direct involvement of H. pylori in the development of portal hypertension (PH) in cirrhotic patients has been postulated.File in questo prodotto:
