U.S., April 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06908798) titled 'Fecal Calprotectin for Prediction of Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients' on March 27.
Brief Summary: The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to evaluate the accuracy of fecal calprotectin versus non-invasive scores in assessing the presence and grading of esophageal varices in Egyptian patients.
Researchers will compare fecal calprotectin levels in cirrhotic patients with and without esophageal varices (EVs) and healthy subjects. researchers will also evaluate the performance of fecal calprotectin, AST to platelet ratio index (APRI) score, fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score, albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score, platelet-albu...
