Abstract： Objective To analyze the relationship between the varicosity of esophagus and portal hypertensive gastropathy(PHC) in patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage of hepatocirrhosis. Methods The damage degree of esophageal varicosity was divided into four grades and the PHG were divided into three groups according to the McCormack standards by emergency gastric endoscopy. Results Among 200 patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage,100 cases(50. 0%) were caused by esophageal varicosity explosion and 44 cases(22. 2% ) were induced by PHG,38 cases (19. 0%) were due to gastric ulcer, 18 cases (9. 0%) were duo to other causes. Comparison between etiology and liver function of A-class(except for other reasons group) were significantly different(X2 =4. 23 ,X2 =4. 15 ,X2 =4. 18,X2 =4. 07,P＜0. 05 ;X2 =6. 83 ,X2 =7. 01 ,P＜0. 01 ) ;The portal vein diameter＞1.5cm bleeding incidence(32. 5% ) were significantly higher than the diameter＜1. 1cm bleeding incidence( 12. 5% ) (X2 =4. 73 ,P ＜0. 05 ) ;The degree of PHG in severe esophageal varices (55. 6% ) were significantly higher than the mild esophageal varices( 11.1% )( X2 = 7.73, P＜0. 01 ). The correlation between PHG degree and esophagus varicosity were positive related(r=0.455,X2 = 4.01,P＜0.05). Conclusion The esophageal varicosity explosion and PHG are two major factors to cause hepatocirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhagein. The more severe the damage degree of esophageal varicosity is,the higher incidence and the more severe the PHG will be.
