Non-invasive predictors of esophageal varices

Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2011
Current guidelines recommend screening cirrhotic patients with an endoscopy to detect esophageal varices and to institute prophylactic measures in patients with large esophageal varices. In this study, we aimed at identifying non-endoscopic parameters that could predict the presence and grades of esophageal varices.In a prospective study, 229 newly ...

Non-Invasive Predictors of Gastro-Oesophageal Varices

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2017
Introduction: The worldwide accepted tool for screening and monitoring gastro-oesophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis is upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Are non invasive predictors of esophageal varices reliable?

International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2019
Background: One of the most serious complications of portal hypertension is the development of esophageal varices and variceal bleeding due to the rupture of varices. The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy of various clinical and laboratory parameters in predicting the presence and severity of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients ...
