Abstract:
Primary biliary cirrhosis as autoimmune liver disease, due to conventional screening in recent years, the popularity of anti-mitochondrial antibodies to the number of patients with early primary bil-iary cirrhosis showed an upward trend. The development of esophageal varices is an important indicator of poor prognosis of primary biliary cirrhosis. The current assessment of esophageal variceal gold standard is endoscopy, but it is invasive examination, such as non-invasive examination to assess whether patients with esophageal varices, the selective endoscopy of the patient, can significantly reduce the patient's pain and the economic burden. In recent years, clinical studies have been carried out or carried out with non-invasive de-tection of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis complicated by esophageal varices.
