The Role of Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index as a Non-Invasive Predictor of Variceal Etiology of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

The Role of Aspartate Aminotransferase to Platelet Ratio Index as a Non-Invasive Predictor of Variceal Etiology of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Introduction: Non-invasive strategies to predict variceal from non-variceal bleeding will be highly beneficial for preemptive management of Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding (UGIB). This study aimed to assess the role of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to platelet ratio index (APRI) as a non-invasive...
