Background: 1. To evaluate endoscopic images of gastroesophageal mucosa in patients with cirrhosis. 2. To evaluate the relationship between endoscopic images of the gastroesophageal and some clinical, subclinical features. Subjects and Methods: A cross- sectional descriptive study. From May 2010 to April 2011, the study sample includes 88 cirrhotic patients hospitalized at Hue Central Hospital and at Hue University Hospital. Results 1. 95.5% of patients with cirrhosis have esophageal varices. The presence of red color signs on esophageal varices accounts for 48.8% of the cases. The esophageal varices with bleeding accounts for 39.3%. The most common images of gastric mucosa in patients with cirrhosis observed was gastritis (58.0%), mucosal mosiac-like pattern (52.3%) and the lesser common signs seen were gastric ulcer (19.3%) and fundal varices (12.5%). 2. Among the esophageal varices cases at grade 3, 58.3% patients had moderate and large ascites. Among the esophageal variceal bleeding cases at grade 3, the rate of esophageal variceal bleeding is 84.9%, and among the grade 2 cases, the rate is 15.1%. The prevalence of platelet counts <100 Kμ / L in patients with varicose veins in the esophagus accounts for 75% among the grade 3. Among the grade 3 cases, The prevalence of major spleen with width>13 cm accounted for 66.7%. The rate of bleeding from esophageal varices in patients with red color signs is 84.9%. Conclusion: 1. The common endoscopic images of gastroesophageal mucosa in patients with cirrhosis is esophageal varices, gastritis and mucosal mosiac-like pattern. 2. Esophageal varices is related with ascites, bleeding, low platelet count and spleen diameter >13cm. Bleeding from esophageal varices is related with red color signs and is not related to mucosal mosaic-like pattern. Key words: esophageal varices, gastric endoscopy, cirrhosis
