Title: Effects of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy for esophagogastric varices on portal
hemodynamics and liver function
Version: 2 Date: 16 Jan 2022
Reviewer's report:
This report describes for the effects of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy on portal
hemodynamics, liver function.
The author examined in detail.
Minor revision is required.
Conclusion paragraph in the text is different from conclusion paragraph in the abstract.
I prefer the conclusions in the abstract.
Conclusions in the abstract: Patients with low ICG-R15, low P/A ratio, and the absence of
paraesophageal veins were probable predictors of PVTBF improvement post-EIS. In addition,
the improvement of hepatic hemodynamics likely enhanced liver function following EIS.
Conclusions in the text: The protein synthetic ability improved after an improvement of PVTBF
owing to the obliteration of EGV. In addition, patients with low value of ICG-R15, without
Para-V, or with low P/A ratio displayed the potential to predict PVTBF improvement after EIS.
ICG-R15 <30% was a non-invasive and convenient marker to predict for an increase in PVTBF
post-EIS.
