Paediatric patients with PSVD present with two different clinical phenotypes, one characterised by PH and one by chronic elevation of transaminases without PH. PSVD should be included among the conditions causing isolated hypertransaminasaemia. On histology, the differences between the two groups are subtle. Medium-term outcome is favourable in patients without PH; progression of the disease is observed in those with PH.
