To answer your question in one sentence:
The disease progresses slowly over time and does not remain static.
How fast it progresses depends on what’s the underlying cause of non cirrhotic portal hypertension. This requires testing which may have been done already.
I’m sure she is seen regularly by a liver doctor who’s Incharge of her medical care. These patients may progress slowly but can end up requiring a transplant decades later so require close follow up to monitor progress.
I’m sure she is already getting this.
Can look into seeing a liver doc at PKLI if needed. It’s close enough.
Good luck!
