VWF levels were significantly higher in blood type non‐O patients with low MELD (<10 points) or subclinical portal hypertension (HVPG 6‐9 mmHg), while no differences were observed in patients with HVPG values of 10‐15 mmHg and profound portal hypertension (HVPG ≥ 16 mmHg), or patients with MELD scores of 10‐15 and >15 points (Tables S4 and S5). This evidence concerns the gene VWF and portal hypertension.
