The accuracy of spleen stiffness with new dedicated probe to predict presence of high-risk varices & ideal cutoff to predict it was analysed in 209 cirrhotic cases. The most common etiology was alcoholic liver disease (72.7%) & median value of liver elastography was 25.3 kPa & for spleen elastography was 42.4 kPa. At the cutoff of 53.25 kPa, study obtained sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 72.6% to predict high-risk varices.
