主　　题：Compensated cirrhosis Spleen stiffness measurement Liver stiffness measurement High-risk esophageal varices Clinically significant portal hypertension 

摘      要：With increasing burden of compensated cirrhosis,we desperately need noninvasive methods for assessment of clinically significant portal *** use of liver and spleen stiffness measurement helps in deferring unnecessary endoscopies for low risk esophageal *** would reduce cost and patient ***,these special techniques may not be feasible at remote areas where still we need only biochemical *** prospective studies validating the non-invasive risk prediction models are definitely needed.
