Abstract: Esophageal varices, caused by portal hypertension due to cirrhosis, pose a significant risk of hemorrhage. This prospective study evaluated 106 cases at the Cambodia - China Friendship Preah Kossamak Hospital. Findings revealed cirrhosis was more prevalent in men (76.41%), with an average patient age of 52.5 years. Key etiologies included chronic alcohol consumption, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Significant predictors of variceal grading included platelet count, portal vein diameter, and spleen size, with all parameters showing statistical significance (p < 0.001). These results highlight the potential of non - invasive markers for risk stratification and early intervention in resource - limited settings.
