Non-invasive Predictors of Esophageal Varices and Their Correlation to Upper Endoscopic Findings

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

The goal of this observational study: * To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive markers in predicting the presence and grading of esophageal varices in children with portal hypertension. * To correlate these non-invasive markers with the severity of portal hypertension and the grade of esophageal varices to identify patients at high risk of bleeding. * To propose a defined protocol for screening esophageal varices in those children.
