Spleen and Liver Stiffness to Detect Esophageal Varices in Children with Biliary Atresia.

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - JPGN, 2019
OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy of non-invasive parameters such as liver (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) to detect esophageal varices (EV) in children with biliary atresia (BA). METHODS Children with BA between 2000 and 2015 were recruited.

Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloprotinase-1 and collagen type IV in HCV-associated cirrhosis and grading of esophageal varices

Egyptian Liver Journal
Background Esophageal varices are abnormally dilated submucosal veins of the esophagus which develop as a result of portal hypertension due to cirrhosis. Collagen type IV is upregulated with a 14-fold increase in cirrhosis.

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.

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.
