Changes in portal venous hemodynamics in patients with severe acute hepatitis over one year

Usefulness of B-mode and doppler sonography for the diagnosis of severe acute viral hepatitis A

“…The usefulness of Doppler US in patients with acute hepatitis has not been established yet, but several authors reported hepatic Doppler US findings in patients with acute hepatitis. 14,[27][28][29] Necrotic inflammation in acute hepatitis can decrease portal venous velocity. In our study, V PORTAL was significantly correlated with all laboratory data except bilirubin (p 5 0.097).…”

Portalsystemic hemodynamic changes in chronic severe hepatitis B: An ultrasonographic study

“…Rapid increase of portal vein circumfluence resistance may be the result of these pathological changes, and may result in an obvious decrease in PVPV and acute portal hypertension formation. It was reported that patients with acute hepatitis and fulminant hepatitis developed portal hypertension with the aggravation of hepatic inflammation degrees [21,22] . Additionally, PVD was difficult to dilate to compensate for PVPV decrease in time, so PVV significantly dropped in comparison to the control groups.…”
