Prediction of Severe Esophageal Varices in Patients With Cirrhosis Based on Levitt’s CO Breath Test: A Proof of Concept Study
This study investigated the feasibility of using erythrocyte (RBC) lifespan determined by Levitt’s CO breath test (LCOBT) to predict esophageal varices needing treatment (VNT) in patients with cirrhosis. BACKGROUND: Esophageal varix bleeding is a common fatal complication of cirrhosis and portal hyp...
