Article Synopsis
- Non-invasive methods like splenic and liver stiffness measurements can help assess portal hypertension in chronic liver disease, specifically in hepatitis B patients.
- A study found that both stiffness measurements significantly predicted the presence of esophageal varices, with specific threshold values achieving high accuracy rates.
- Combining splenic and liver stiffness with the FIB-4 score enhances the ability to predict esophageal varices and improves diagnostic effectiveness.
