In this paper, we study the existence and boundary behavior of solutions to boundary blow-up elliptic problems \begin{eqnarray*} \triangle u =b(x)f(u)(1+|\nabla u|^q), u\geq 0, \ x\in \Omega,\ u|_{\partial \Omega}=\infty, \end{eqnarray*} where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb R^N$, $q\in (0, 2]$, $b \in C^{\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$ which is positive in $\Omega$, may be vanishing on the boundary, and $f$ is normalised regularly varying at infinity with positive index $p$ and $p+q>1$.
Keywords: Semilinear elliptic equations, boundary behavior of solutions, boundary blow-up, a gradient term, uniqueness., existence.
