Abstract
The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy and compare between different non invasive screening tools in prediction of portal hypertensive gastropathy in Egyptian patients with liver cirrhosis aiming to reduce the use of unnecessary endoscopic screening to cirrhotic patient having no such risk.
Conclusion and recommendation
• Portal vein diameter, platelet/spleen diameter, platelets/GBWT, right liver lobe diameter/albumin ratio and Liaoning score are the most important predictors of portal hypertensive gastropathy.
• Future studies on large population needed for further evaluation of the accuracy of these non invasive tests and possibility of replacing the invasive one like upper endoscopy by these non invaive markers.
