Furthermore, total leukocyte count (TLC) was notably lower in patients with EV (4.47 ± 2.33) than in those without (6.52 ± 2.16), with a highly significant difference (p < 0.001).

In patients with CLD, the ratio of PLT/PT may be significant for assessing portal hypertension and diagnosing EV, although upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) is still the gold standard for diagnosing gastroesophageal varices.
