Abstract

Background: Bleeding from gastro-esophageal varices is the most serious and life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Endoscopic surveillance of esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients is expensive and uncomfortable for the patients. Therefore, there is a particular need for non-invasive predictors for esophageal varices. The aim of the present study was to evaluate association of esophageal varices and Lok Score as non-invasive parameter in liver cirrhosis patients.Method: This is a cross-sectional study of patients admitted at the Adam Malik hospital Medan between September to December 2014 with a diagnosis of cirrhosis based on clinical, biochemical, ultrasound, and gastroscopy. Lok Score was calculated for all patients, tabulated and analyzed.Results: Among 76 patients with esophageal varices, 55.3% was due to hepatitis B virus (HBV). The majority of patients were Child C with only 13,2% being Child Pugh class A. Majority of the population had F2 esophageal varices (42,1%), F1 (32,9%), and F3 (25%). There is significance difference between Lok Score and grading of esophageal varices, Lok score is higher in Large esophageal varices compared with small esophageal varises (0.92 ± 0.14 vs. 0.70 ± 0.29; p = 0.001). Lok Score cut-off value of 0,9141 was highly predictive in the diagnosis large esophageal varices with a sensitivity of 74.5%, specificity of 72%, positive predictive value of 84%, negative predictive value 58%, and accuracy was 73.7%.Conclusion: Lok Score was significantly associated with esophageal varices. Lok score is a good non-invasive predictor of large esophageal varices in cirrhotic patients.

Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, precancerous lesions is triggered by H. pylori infection and any other factors. Recent reports confirmed that serum pepsinogens are a valuable biomarker gastric cancer even before the discovery of H. pylori. Research Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study involving 80 confirmed patients with Gastric Premalignant Lesion at Adam Malik General Hospital, Permata Bunda General Hospital, Medan, on April-November 2018. These two variables is sought using the Mann Whitney test (normality test P < 0,05). H. pylori were diagnosed by positive result of examination of Carbon-14 urea breath test (C-UBT) or Campylobacter-like organism (CLO). Examination of Pepsinogen I measured by Abbott ARCHITECT Pepsinogen I Reagent Kit (Abbott Laboratories Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Result: Of the 60 participants who confirmed has gastritis premalignant lesion according to the inclusion criteria. From the table of characteristic descriptive, it was found that 48 patients were male (60%) and 32 patients were female (40%). From CLO and 14C-UBT, it was found 35 patients were H. pylori-positive (43,8%) and 45 patients were H. pylori-negative (56,3%). Mean age was 51.03 ± 10.97  years. Mean levels of Pepsinogen I  was 44.28 ± 21.77. From the second table, it was found that 35 (43,8%) patients  with H. pylori-positive has 47.84 mean levels of Pepsinogen I, and 45 (56,3%) patients with H. pylori-negative has 34,79 mean levels of Pepsinogen I. The results of Mann Whitney's correlation analysis found a significant correlation between Pepsinogen (PG) I and H. Pylori in patients with Gastric Premalignant Lesion (p < 0,05). Conclusion : It was found that there was a correlation between Pepsinogen (PG) I levels and H. Pylori in patients with Gastric Premalignant Lesion (p < 0,05).
