Association of amino acid imbalance with the severity of liver fibrosis and esophageal varices

Association of amino acid imbalance with the severity of liver fibrosis and esophageal varices

Background. The relationships between the metabolic parameters and the endoscopic findings of esophageal varices have been poorly investigated. We investigated the association of the branched-chain amino acids to tyrosine ratio (BTR) with the severity of liver fibrosis and esophageal varices.Materia...
