OBJECTIVE
Variceal hemorrhaging due to portal hypertension is a severe complication of liver cirrhosis. Although several biomarkers have been reported as predictors of the presence of varices, it is still difficult to assess the risk of variceal bleeding without esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). The
Other investigators have found that in adults the Serum-Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) to be 1.1 g/dl or greater in the presence of portal hypertension (PTHN) and less than that in its absence. We sought to determine the correlation between the level of SAAG and the complications of PTHN,
OBJECTIVE
Esophageal varices and serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) are two major findings of portal hypertension. Recently, correlation between these two findings in patients with cirrhosis due to alcohol has been attracted attention. We aimed at evaluating whether a correlation exists between
BACKGROUND
The current guidelines recommend the screening of all cirrhotic patients by endoscopy, but repeated endoscopic examinations are unpleasant for patients and have a high cost impact and burden on endoscopic units. The aim of this study is to evaluate the optimal liver lobe size/albumin
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether liver lobe volume and albumin (ALB) could predict the presence and severity of liver cirrhosis, and esophageal varices.
METHODS
Seventy-one cirrhotic patients with hepatitis B and 21 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. All the participants underwent
Background: The Baveno VI criteria based on platelet count and liver stiffness, measured by transient elastography (TE), have been proposed to rule out high-risk varices (HRV) defined as medium or large-sized varices or the presence of
BACKGROUND It is necessity to work more on non-invasive markers like right liver lobe size/albumin concentration ratio for predicting esophageal varices. We aimed to see the right liver lobe/albumin ratio in identifying esophageal varices among patients with cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B and C.
This hospital based observational study was carried out to evaluate the relation between serum ascitic albumin gradient and oesophageal varices in cirrhosis of liver disease patient. This was a hospital based observational study on 50 cases of diagnosed cirrhosis of liver disease patients in
OBJECTIVE
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic, progressive disease and it is usually accompanied by portal hypertension. The development of oesophageal varices (OV) is one of the major complications of portal hypertension. Cirrhotic patients should be screened for the presence of OV when portal
There is no consensus on screening for high-risk esophageal varices (HRV) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of HRV in patients with HCC and to assess the combination of albumin-bilirubin grade and platelet count (ALBI-PLT
OBJECTIVE
To determine the factors predicting mortality from bleeding esophageal varices and to examine the possibility of an association between the development of adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the use of ethanolamine oleate as an esophageal variceal
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to clarify the role of the additional Hassab's operation to hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinomas and esophagogastric varices.
METHODS
Subjects were 36 cirrhotic patients with hepatocellular carcinomas and concomitant
OBJECTIVE
This study was deigned to evaluate the technique and clinical efficacy of the use of percutaneous transportal sclerotherapy with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for patients with gastric varices.
METHODS
Seven patients were treated by transportal sclerotherapy with the use of NBCA. For
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term effects on portal hemodynamics of transjugular retrograde obliteration (TJO) of gastric varices with gastrorenal shunt.
METHODS
Thirty patients with gastric varices and a gastrorenal shunt were included in this study. The patients
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to identify non-endoscopic predictors for the presence of large esophageal varices in Korean patients with liver cirrhosis.
METHODS
Among 736 patients with liver cirrhosis newly diagnosed between the year 2001 and 2005, 245 patients (171 men and 74 women, mean age
