| description | <i>Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)</i> is a major etiological factor of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). It is supposed to be a risk factor for the more frequently encountered PUD in patients with liver cirrhosis. Several investigators have evaluated the effect of <i> H. pylori</i> on liver cirrhosis, portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) and encephalopathy with controversial results. Some reports have shown a higher seroprevalence and suggested a synergistic effect of <i> H. pylori</i> on liver cirrhosis and PHG. However, this increased prevalence is associated with a negative histology and is not influenced by the cause of cirrhosis, PHG, Child class or gender. Most studies have not found any correlation between <i> H. pylori</i> and PHG. In contrast, other studies have reported a markedly lower prevalence of <i> H. pylori</i> in cirrhotics with duodenal ulcer compared to controls. The aim of this article is to review the relationship between <i> H. pylori</i> infection and portal hypertensive gastropathy and the role of <i> H. pylori</i> eradication in cirrhotic patients. |
