| Core Tip |
hepatitis C virus infection is a major global health problem, with over 14% of the Egyptian popu-lation currently infected. End-stage liver disease with cirrhosis is commonly complicated by potentially life-threatening esophageal varices, which require regular screening by endoscopy. However, this invasive pro-cedure is burdened by patient non-compliance and possible complications, thus prompting the search for alternative non-invasive yet accurate means of diagnosis. This study group aimed to assess the use of computed tomography to evaluate and grade variceal size, and to compare its diagnostic value with other non-invasive predictors of portal hypertension, such as platelet count to splenic diameter ratio, aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, and fibrosis-4 score. |
