Changes of portal hemodynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis and its clinical value / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Objectives:To investigate the changes of portal hemodynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis and its clinical value. Methods:Forty patients with liver cirrhosis and twenty healthy volunteers as controls were involved in this study.The max diameters,mean flow velocity,flow rate and congestion index(CI) of the portal vein trunks(PV) and splenic veins(SV) were detected by Color Doppler Ultrasound in all subjects. Results:The PV diameters(PVD), PVT flow rate(PVF), PVCI and SV diameter(SVD),SV flow rate(SVF),SVCI were significantly highter in patients than in controls( P
