Background: Noninvasive predictors of clinically significant<br />

portal hypertension (CSPH) are limited. Our aim was to determine<br />

the association between sLOXL2, an enzyme involved in<br />

collagen cross-linkage, and the HVPG in patients with portal<br />

hypertension due to hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis.<br />

Methods: The study included patients with portal hypertension<br />

due to HCV-related cirrhosis who achieved a sustained virologic<br />

response (SVR12) to a 48-week course of sofosbuvir (SOF) and<br />

ribavirin (RBV) in study GS-US-334-0125. HVPG was measured<br />

according to a standardized protocol with centralized<br />

review at baseline and the end of treatment (EOT). A hemodynamic<br />

response was defined as a reduction in HVPG to
