Association between Liver Stiffness and Gastro-Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Diseases

OBM Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2018
Objective: Elastography is a non-invasive examination method that can estimate the extent of liver fibrosis, measured as liver stiffness (LS). We examined the relationship between gastro-esophageal varices and the LS and how to predict esophageal varices and varices bleeding by LS.
