CORRELATION OF FIBROSCAN WITH GRADINGOF ESOPHAGEAL VARICES IN COMPENSATED ETHANOL, HBV, HCV AND NAFLD RELATED CIRRHOSIS
Keywords:
Liver stiffness measurement, FibroScan, esophageal varices, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, endoscopy.Abstract
Esophageal varices (EV) are a major complication of cirrhosis, with grading influencingmanagement. This study evaluates the correlation between liver stiffness measurement(LSM) measured by FibroScan and EV severity in compensated ethanol, HBV, HCV and
NAFLD related cirrhosis.
