The continuum inflammatory splanchnic pathway of Portal Hypertension.
| Interstitium | Oxidative and nitrosative damage | Abnormal ion transport | (c) Degradation of extracellular matrix | Edematous infiltration | Immune cells activation | Mesenteric lymphatics | Increased fluid flow | Increased transport of immune cells | Toxins and bacteria translocation | (d) Lymphangiogenesis | Peritoneal mesothelium | Oxidative and nitrosative stress | Abnormal ion transport | Immune activation | Enzymatic stress | Lymph leakage | Ascites |
