Core Tip	Patients with alcoholic cirrhosis develop portal hypertension and hemodynamics alterations similarly to patients with cirrhosis of other etiologies, but some specific features can be observed. Compared to viral cirrhosis, sinusoidal pressure is generally higher, hepatic venous pressure gradient reflects portal pressure better, the portal flow perfusing the liver is reduced despite an increase in liver weight, the prevalence of reversal portal blood flow is higher, a patent paraumbilical vein is a more common finding and signs of hyperdynamic circulations, such as an increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance, are more pronounced.
