Chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis are now being recognized as an important cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide our goal was to assess the effect of variceal eradication either by endoscopic band ligation or injection sclerotherapy on platelet count. We found that platelet count showed significant elevation in the third month compared to the initial reading in control group on B-blocker, while platelet count showed no significance all over the 3 months period of follow up in group I and II
