Management of varices and variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis [PDF]

, 2013
Variceal hemorrhage is a lethal complication of cirrhosis, particularly in patients in whom clinical decompensation (i.e., ascites, encephalopathy, a previous episode of hemorrhage, or jaundice) has already developed.

Comparison of hepatic venous pressure gradient and endoscopic grading of esophageal varices.

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
AIM To determine the correlation between the hepatic venous pressure gradient and the endoscopic grade of esophageal varices. METHODS From September 2009 to March 2013, a total of 176 measurements of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) were done in

Evaluation of large esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients by transient elastography: a meta-analysis.

Revista Espanola de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2016
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transient elastography (TE) has been shown to be a valuable tool for the prediction of large esophageal varices. However, the conclusions have not been always consistent throughout the different studies.

Involvement of the ADAMTS13–von Willebrand factor axis in acute kidney injury in mice with liver cirrhosis

Hepatology Research, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 844-858, June 2025.
Abstract Aim Hepatorenal syndrome‐induced acute kidney injury (AKI) comprises AKI and liver cirrhosis (LC) and is a risk factor for poor prognoses of patients with LC. Decreased a disintegrin‐like metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (ADAMTS13) activity and increased von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen levels are associated with LC ...

Platelet count splenic diameter ratio as predictor for esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis: a diagnostic evaluation study [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Esophageal variceal bleeding is one among the common complication of cirrhosis which is fatal. Latest studies are focusing more on using non-invasive techniques to classify cirrhotic patients according to their risk of having varices.

Improved Esophageal Varices Assessment from Non-Contrast CT Scans [PDF]

arXiv
Esophageal varices (EV), a serious health concern resulting from portal hypertension, are traditionally diagnosed through invasive endoscopic procedures. Despite non-contrast computed tomography (NC-CT) imaging being a less expensive and non-invasive imaging modality, it has yet to gain full acceptance as a primary clinical diagnostic tool for EV ...

A STUDY OF ROLE OF PLATELET COUNT/SPLEEN DIAMETER RATIO AS A PREDICTOR OF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES IN PATIENT WITH CHRONIC LIVER DISEASE

National Journal of Medical Research, 2014
Background: In patients of chronic liver disease, the parameters directly linked to portal hypertension such as splenomegaly and decreased platelet count were predictors of presence of esophageal varices.

Significance of Non-Invasive Markers as Predictor of Esophageal Varices in Liver Cirrhosis

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2017
Introduction: Upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy remains the gold standard for screening for esophageal varices but it has its own limitations. It is an invasive, expensive and uncomfortable procedure and needs clinical expertise.

Correlation of non-invasive parameters with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings for presence and grading of gastroesophageal varices in liver cirrhosis patients

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Background: Development of esophageal varices is one of the major complications of liver cirrhosis, and endoscopy is used to see the presence, grading, and long-term monitoring of esophageal varices which is an invasive and unpleasant procedure. There is

Prevention of Esophageal Variceal Rebleeding

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, 2006
The rate of rebleeding of esophageal varices remains high after cessation of acute esophageal variceal hemorrhage. Many measures have been developed to prevent the occurrence of rebleeding. When considering their effectiveness in reduction of rebleeding, the associated complications cannot be neglected.
