Spleen size and portal hypertension in cirrhosis
Digestion.
1978.
Abstract
In 210 patients with cirrhosis of the liver there was no correlation between spleen size and the rise in portal pressure, whether measured directly or assessed clinically from the size of varices on barium swallow and the presence of ascites. Despite this, there was a correlation between the occurrence of bleeding as a presenting symptom and the size of varices assessed radiologically.
