Abstract:To elucidate the mechanism of portal hypertension seen as a symptom of so-called Banti's syndrome (idiopathic portal hypertension), observation was made of rising of the portal pressure experimentally induced in sensitized rabbits.

This phenomenon appears to be attributable to antigen-antibody reaction caused by the injected antigen absorbed from the intestine and entered thereby into the p… Show more
