Hello, I hope you are well. By presenting esophageal varices you already have a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension. It would be important to know the characteristics and size of your esophageal varices and your functinal status to be able to suggest an intervention. It is imperative to treat the hepatitis C virus infection and if it shows a cure (sustained viral response) can improve liver function.
