In their recent study, Dr. Camma `and colleagues 1 concluded that in patients with Child A cirrhosis because of hepatitis C virus, two simple, easy-toget tests, namely the platelet/spleen ratio and insulin resistance as measured by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, regardless o
Indirect methods to predict the presence of esophageal varices (EV) in patients with cirrhosis are not sensitive enough to be used as a surrogate for endoscopy. We tested the effectiveness of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography and the presence of insulin resistance (IR), a m
