Shear wave elastography in assessment of liver stiffness and prediction of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis and could correlate it with esophageal varices.

Correlation Between Esophageal Varices and Lok Score as a Non-invasive Parameter in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy, 2016
Bleeding from gastro-esophageal varices is the most serious and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Endoscopic surveillance of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients is expensive and uncomfortable for the patients.

PLATELET COUNT SQUARED/SPLEEN DIAMETER-ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE RATIO: NON-INVASIVE METHOD TO PREDICT ESOPHAGEAL VARICES

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2017
BACKGROUND - Variceal bleeding has a high mortality among cirrhotics, and screening with endoscopy is indicated at the diagnosis of cirrhosis. Screening with endoscopy implies discomfort, risks and considerable costs.

Bleeding Outcomes Following Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients With Cirrhosis and Esophageal Varices

Hepatology Communications, 2021
Despite scant evidence, current guidelines indicate that esophageal varices are a relative contraindication to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The aim of this study is to compare the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding following TEE among cirrhotic

Success of transition to adult care in patients with pediatric‐onset chronic liver disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Previous studies on chronic pediatric‐onset conditions have highlighted the risks of loss to follow‐up, disease progression, or therapeutic nonadherence during transition. However, very few studies have focused on liver diseases.
