Spleen Stiffness Measurement as Non-Invasive Surrogate for Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease

Spleen Stiffness Measurement as Non-Invasive Surrogate for Esophageal Varices in Chronic Liver Disease

Background: In patients with chronic liver diseases, liver and spleen stiffness measurement by elastography is the most recent available noninvasive tool. However, the accuracy for prediction of esophageal varices has been inconsistent across various studies. So, this study was done to evaluate the...
