Assessment of renal artery resistive index as a predictor of esophageal varices and its bleeding risk in post-hepatitic cirrhosis
Background Bleeding from rupture esophageal varices (EV) is a major and life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis (LC).Early detection of EV and prediction of its bleeding risk is important.Objective To assess and evaluate the resistive index (RI) of the renal artery (RA) by Doppler in various stages of portal hypertensive manifestations of
