The current guldelines recommend the screening of all cirrhotic patients by endoscopy, but repeated endoscopic examinations are unpleasant for patients and have a high cost impact and burden on endoscopic units. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of using right liver lobe size / albumin ratio and platelet count / spleen diameter ratio as potential noninvasive predictors of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients
