Abstract
Loss of normal hepatic venous triphasic wave form is a very sensitive non invasive marker for predicting the presence of large esophagial varices with reasonably high positive and negative predictive value. latelet count/splenic diameter ratio, if taken with a cut off of ≤909, can predict the presence of large esophagial varices with reasonably good accuracy. Comparing hepatic venous flow pattern to platelet count splenic diameter ratio,the formor is more strongly associated with the presence of large varices and scores over the latter in terms of negative predictive value. Both are comparable in terms of sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value. Hepatic venous flow pattern did not have a statistically significant correlation with the incidence of UGI bleed.
