Predictors of Bleeding from Esophageal Varices: The Role of Factor VII and von Willebrand Factor (vWF)

2018-11-30 14:49:19 Keywords Esophageal varices, Factor IIV, Esophageal varices, Factor IIV, von Willebrand Factor,
Predictors of Bleeding from Esophageal Varices: The Role of Factor VII and von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
ABSTRACT Background and Study Aim: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by remission of disease activity. Searching for laboratory markers which are simple, sensitive, specific and noninvasive is fundamental to assess the extent of inflammation, activity of the disease, evolution and prognosis which can be used to assess response to treatment and the possibility of ...

Predictors of Bleeding from Esophageal Varices: The Role of Factor VII and von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
OBJECTIVES: Bleeding from gastroesophageal varices is the most serious and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis and accounts for 10% of all cases of bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. It is essential to identify and treat those patients at the highest risk because each episode of variceal hemorrhage carries a 20% to 30% risk of death, and up to 70% of ... Read more

Non-Invasive Predictors of Esophageal Varices in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
BACKGROUND: The number of patients undergoing screening endoscopy for the presence of esophageal varices (EV) is increasing in Egypt as a result of the growing pool of patients with chronic liver diseases. AIM: The aim of the present study was to identify clinical, biochemical, and ultrasonographic parameters which might non-invasively predict the presence of EV in patients with liver cirrhosis. ...
