Core Tip	The onset of decompensation is an important event in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver diseases (c-ACLD). The presence of clinically significant portal hypertension is associated with a higher risk of decompensation in patients with c-ACLD. High hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement is used to risk-stratify such patients. High hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement is an invasive investigation; hence, liver and splenic stiffness measurement are emerging as a useful non-invasive tests to predict clinically significant portal hypertension and risk of decompensation. Here, we have explored the role of splenic stiffness measurement in predicting decompensation in patients with c-ACLD.
