| Core Tip |
Gastric antral β-Arrestin-2 (β-Arr-2) expression correlates to portal hypertension in terms of esophageal varices and portal gastropathy. A stronger β-Arr-2 expression is associated with a sustained clinical response to nonselective β-blockers (NSBB) with a longer variceal bleeding-free interval. Patients who experienced variceal bleeding while on NSBB had lower baseline serum and tissue expression of β-Arr-2. In patients with responded to NSBB, the expression of β-Arr-2 was reduced after long-term treatment. The serum level of β-Arr-2 correlates to its antral expression and showed high sensitivity and specificity for defining the subgroup of patients who will respond to NSBB. |
