Portal hypertension biobank for esophagogastric varices

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational biobank at Zhongshan Hospital will enroll patients with portal hypertension complicated by esophagogastric varices who have undergone abdominal CT. The program will link clinical records, endoscopic treatment data, radiology images, and biological samples for genomics, metabolomics, radiomics, and gut microbiota analysis. Patients without varices or with inadequate CT quality or incomplete records will be excluded to ensure data integrity. The goal is to enable more precise stratification and understanding of both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic portal hypertension.
