Core Tip	This article proposes a simplified approach for the diagnosis of portal hypertensive gastropathy, considering the presence or the absence of mosaic-like pattern, red point lesions and cherry-red spots, without subdivisions, as those criteria exhibit high agreement among observers and high specificity. This simplified approach is useful for future research on the natural history of this disease and its related factors, thus helping to clarify some of the current controversies due to the lack of homogeneity on the diagnostic criteria of portal hypertensive gastropathy.
