Spleen stiffness determined by spleen-dedicated device accurately predicted esophageal varices in cirrhosis patients [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, 2023
Background: The advantages of spleen stiffness in prediction of high-risk varices (HRV) in cirrhosis patients have been confirmed. Recently, a new device utilizing a 100 Hz probe dedicated to spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) was developed.

Normal Values of Spleen Stiffness in Healthy Volunteers and Effect of Meal on Liver Stiffness and Spleen Stiffness [PDF]

Journal of Medical Ultrasound
Background: The portal hypertension leads to variceal bleeding. Spleen stiffness (SS) is useful in estimating esophageal varices risk and less invasive as compared with reference standard method (hepatic venous pressure gradient). Using different methods
