Summary
Transient elastography is a new non-invasive rapid and reproducible method, allowing evaluating liver fibrosis by measurement of liver stiffness. The aim of our study is to evaluate if the liver stiffness can predict the recurrence of upper variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients hospitalized for variceal rupture.
