ESGE Days 2021 Endoscopy(2021)
Abstract
Aims Esophageal varices(EV) are a serious and life-threatening complication of portal hypertension(PHT). Their diagnosis is based on upper digestive endoscopy(UGIE) which is an invasive examination. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of thirteen non-invasive liver function tests and abdominal ultrasound (AU) in the EV prediction.
