Spleen Stiffness Is Superior to Liver Stiffness for Predicting Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported accuracy of the two predictors have been inconsistent across studies. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of LS and SS measurement for detecting EV in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD...
متن کاملTransileocolic Vein Obliteration for Bleeding Rectal Varices with Portal Thrombus
We report a case of rectal varices treated successfully with transileocolic vein obliteration (TIO). A 70-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of fresh bloody stools in January 2011. Emergent colonoscopy revealed fresh blood in the rectum and tortuous rectal varices. Three-dimensional computed tomography was used as a non-invasive method for the identification of rectal vari...
متن کاملGd-EOB-DTPA based magnetic resonance imaging for predicting liver response to portal vein embolization
AIM To evaluate the correlation between degree of kinetic growth (kGR) of the liver following portal vein embolization (PVE) liver and the enhancement of the during the hepatobiliary phase of contrast administration and to evaluate if the enhancement can be used to predict response to PVE prior to the procedure. METHODS Seventeen patients were consented for the prospective study. All patients...
متن کاملSerum Liver Fibrosis Markers for Predicting the Presence of Gastroesophageal Varices in Liver Cirrhosis: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Background and Aims. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the role of hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP), and collagen IV (CIV) in predicting the presence of gastroesophageal varices (GEVs) in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods. We enrolled 118 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent the tests for the...
متن کاملCorrelation of Portal Vein Size with Esophageal Varices Severity in Patients with Cirrhosis of Liver with Portal Hypertension
This study was conducted to correlate the portal vein diameter measured by ultrasound to development of oesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis of liver with portal hypertension. 92 patients with cirrhosis admitted in OGH were selected for the study USG was conducted in all patients to note portal vein size and splenic size. Upper GI endoscopy was done to detect presence of varices with ...
