We read with interest the articles on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements. [1][2][3] We fully agree on the need to standardize HVPG measurements to get reliable, reproducible, and useful data. 1 We also agree that before recommending such measurements in clinical practice, it is nec
