Abstract
Aim of the work
To evaluate the role of color flow Doppler & duplex ultrasonography in assessment of patients with liver cirrhosis.
Conclusion
1- Doppler ultrasonography be detecting homodynamic changes of the portal venous system and hepatic artery is a useful safe non-invasive modality in the assessment of cirrhotic patients as well as in the diagnosis of portal hypertension and degree of liver affection.
2- In diagnosis of portal hypertension: a lower portal and splenic vein velocity is a more reliable sonographic finding.
3- Also the lower the portal vein velocity, the more degree of modified child score.
4- Different haemodynamic parameters of the portal vein have no correlation with the degree of oesophageal varices detected by endoscopy thus the predictive value and prognostic role of Doppler is questionable.
