Prevention and management of gastroesophageal varices
Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices is a serious complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Although there has been significance improvement in the prognosis of variceal bleeding with advancement in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for its management, mortality rate still remains high. Therefore, appropriate prevention and rapid, effective management of bleed...
متن کاملPrevention and Management of Gastroesophageal Varices in Cirrhosis
Variceal hemorrhage is one of the major complications of liver cirrhosis associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Its management has evolved over the past decade and has substantially reduced the rate of first and recurrent bleeding while decreasing mortality. In general, treatment of esophageal varices can be divided into three categories: primary prophylaxis (prevention of first e...
متن کاملManaging chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Evidence-Based Answer Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are superior to histamine H2 antagonists for treating chronic GERD. Comparisons among different PPIs or among different dosages and dosing regimens show few consistent differences. Limited studies suggest that continuous daily dosing provides improved symptom control and quality of life at six months compared with on-demand dosing. Surgery app...
متن کاملBeta-blockers to prevent gastroesophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis.
BACKGROUND Nonselective beta-adrenergic blockers decrease portal pressure and prevent variceal hemorrhage. Their effectiveness in preventing varices is unknown. METHODS We randomly assigned 213 patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension (minimal hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] of 6 mm Hg) to receive timolol, a nonselective beta-blocker (108 patients), or placebo (105 patients). T...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography versus platelet/spleen diameter ratio as methods for the detection of gastroesophageal varices
BACKGROUND All patients with liver cirrhosis should undergo screening endoscopy, but there are limitations and this approach places a heavy burden upon endoscopy units. The aim of this study was to compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the platelet/spleen diameter ratio as non-invasive methods for the detection of gastroesophageal varices. METHODS The study included 38 cirrhoti...
