Abstract
Chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis are now being recognized as an important
cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide Our goal was to assess the effect of
variceal eradication either by endoscopic band ligation or injection sclerotherapy on
platelet count.
We found that Platelet count showed significant elevation in the third month
compared to the initial reading in control group on B-blocker, while Platelet count
showed no significance all over the 3 months period of follow up in group І & ІІ.
Also follow up after one and Three months showed significant increase in portal
vein diameter in group І (patients undergone band ligation), but in group ІІ (patients
undergone injection sclerotherapy) there was significant decrease in portal vein
diameter. While in Control groups no significant decrease. Follow up after one and
Three months showed increase in splenic size in all patients, we compared within
each group, there were significant increase in spleen size within patients of group ІІ
(patients undergone injection sclerotherapy)
