Background Esophageal varices (EV) are serious complications of hepatitis C virus (HCV)
cirrhosis. Endoscopic screening is expensive, invasive, and uncomfortable. Accordingly …

Objective This study aims to assess esophageal varices (EV) by noninvasive parameters in
patients with liver cirrhosis. Background The current guidelines recommend the screening of …

Aim: We aimed at assessing the value of serum ammonia as a non-invasive method for early
prediction of EV. Patient and methods: The study included 204 patients with HCV-related …

Background: Non-invasive detection of OV helps to decrease the necessity of endoscopy as
a screening method. Aim of the study: To assess the usage of the measurement of …

Background Portal hypertension leads to the formation of portosystemic collateral veins, of
which esophageal varices (EV) are the most severe complications and have the greatest …

Background: Screening guidelines recommend that all patients who are newly diagnosed
with cirrhosis should be screened for esophageal varices (EV). This study aimed at …

Background: All cirrhotic patients should be screened for oesophageal varices (OV) at the
time of diagnosis. The development of a non-invasive method for the detection of OV is a …

Background: By measuring liver stiffness (LS) with transient elastography (TE), portal
hypertension and the presence of oesophageal varices (OV) were investigated. In HCV …

Background and study aim: Endoscopic screening of all patients with liver cirrhosis add
major burden to endoscopic units. Non-invasive detection of Oesophageal varices (OV) help …

Background: About 40% of people with hepatic cirrhosis also developed oesophageal
varices. The most serious portosystemic shunts caused by portal hypertension are OV Aim …
