Eligibility Criteria
Age18 Years - 72 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
You may qualify if:
Patients with portal hypertension caused by liver cirrhosis who presented with an acute or recent episode of gastroesophageal variceal bleeding and have previously received endoscopic treatments of ligation and cyanoacrylate. Diagnosis of liver cirrhosis or mixed cirrhosis was based on results of liver biopsy or biochemical tests and liver imaging by ultrasonography.
