A recent study conducted at Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital in Rajasthan, India, explored non-invasive methods for predicting the presence and grading of esophageal varices, a major complication of liver cirrhosis. The study involved 70 patients with liver cirrhosis and found that factors such as platelet count, portal vein diameter, serum bilirubin, spleen bipolar diameter, and prothrombin time were significantly correlated with the presence and grading of varices. The researchers concluded that monitoring these non-invasive parameters could help in monitoring variceal growth and reduce the need for repeated endoscopic evaluations, which are invasive and unpleasant procedures. This study provides valuable insights for clinicians and patients in managing esophageal varices. [Extracted from the article] |
