Fig. 4From: High correlation of hepatic shear wave velocity with esophageal varices complication rate in patients with chronic liver diseasesVs values, blood markers, and splenic volume in the presence of esophageal varices (EVs) in patients with advanced liver fibrosis. Scatter plots of shear wave velocity (Vs) values, FIB-4 index, platelet count, M2BPGi, hyaluronic acid, type IV collagen 7S, and splenic volume in patients without (n = 13) and with (n = 10) esophageal varices (EVs) with advanced liver fibrosis. Bars represent medians for each group; N.S., not significantly different. Each plot shows Vs values, values of each blood marker of liver fibrosis, and spleen volume in individual patients. Each data set was assessed with the Mann–Whitney U testBack to article page
