Summary
This study looks at whether non-invasive markers like blood counts and spleen size can accurately predict the presence and severity of esophageal varices (enlarged veins that can bleed) in children with portal hypertension. Researchers will compare these markers to the gold-standard endoscopic exam in 51 children under 18. The goal is to develop a safer, less invasive screening protocol to identify those at highest risk of bleeding.
