	Grade 2 (large or confluent varices ≥ 5 mm)
2: Abnormalities of gastric wall	Grade 0 (none)
	Grade 1 (thickening and brilliance of the third
	hyperechogenic layer with or without fine
	internal anechogenic structures)
	Grade 2 (visible vessels in the third layer which deform the entire wall, with penetrating varices)
