- Brief Summary
Portal vein flow velocity as screening tool for prediction of oesophageal varices in cirrhotic patient without upper endoscopy
- Detailed Description
Portal vein flow velocity as screening tool for prediction of oesophageal varices in cirrhotic patient without upper endoscopy with its high cost \& complications Using portal vein flow velocity and the relation between it \& presence of oesophageal varices in cirrhotic patient \& its efficacy as a primary tool for these cases
