2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cirrhosis Without Gastric Antral Vascular EctasiaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients without Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia with cirrhosis will undergo gastric motor function testing. This will be measured by radioscintigraphy after overnight fast using a radiolabeled meal.
Group II: Cirrhosis With Gastric Antral Vascular EctasiaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients with Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia with cirrhosis will undergo gastric motor function testing. This will be measured by radioscintigraphy after overnight fast using a radiolabeled meal.
