Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Toxic injury to liver sinusoids causes sloughing of endothelial cells that embolise to hepatic venules and cause eventual fibrosis of the venules. This results in hepatic congestion (similar to Budd-Chiari syndrome) and post-sinusoidal portal hypertension."

Line 10:231 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-sinusoidal'.
