Oesophageal varices without bleeding in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Oesophageal varices without bleeding in diseases classified elsewhere is a condition where the veins in the oesophagus become enlarged and swollen, but there is no bleeding. this is often seen in patients with chronic liver disease, portal hypertension or certain other conditions such as cirrhosis or budd-chiari syndrome.
What happens during the disease - oesophageal varices without bleeding in diseases classified elsewhere
Oesophageal varices without bleeding in diseases classified elsewhere is a condition in which the veins in the oesophagus become abnormally enlarged due to increased pressure in the portal vein. this increased pressure is usually caused by a blockage in the portal vein, such as a tumor or cirrhosis of the liver, which causes blood to back up and increase the pressure in the vein. this increased pressure causes the veins in the oesophagus to swell, leading to oesophageal varices.
