Can Hellicobacter Pylori Infection Increase the Risk of Variceal Bleeding in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis?

چکیده
Portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis is the cause of many dangerous complications, such as hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, and gastro-oesophageal variceal bleeding. Gastrooesophageal variceal bleeding is the cause of more than one-third of deaths in patients with liver cirrhosis [3]. H.pylori infection has a role in some diseases as peptic ulcer [4] portal hypertensive gastropathy [5] and hepatic encephalopathy [6]. However, the role of H.pylori infection is not well studied in cirrhotic patients with gastro-oesphageal variceal bleeding. The aim of our study was to assess and clarify the effect and the correlation between H.pylori infection and bleeding from gastro-oesophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
