Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of anorectal vsices and haemorrhoids , the relation (if any) between the two, and the stage at which anorectaT varices develop in patients with portal hypertension.
In our study (70) patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension were submitted for full clinical examination and investigated by doing urine and stool analysis, liver function tests, complete blood picture and rectal sni p .
Uoper endoscopy was done for every patient for detection and grading of esophageal varices.
Abdominal U.S was done for every patient to detect the portal vein size, splenomegaly, liver size and ascites.
Sigmoidscopy was used to detect the presence of anorectal varices, haemorrhoids or the two together.
In our study we could not find disti net correlation between increase in portal vein si ze and the degree of esophageal vaH ces h although both were present in portal
hypertension.
