Resistive index of hepatic artery in diffuse liver diseases)
.
We measured the resistive indx of proper hepatic artery of 62 patients with diffuse liver disase proven byliver biopsy, using color Doppler and duplex doppler US and then compared the resistive index of the patients withthat of 24 clinically healthy volunteers. The results showed that the resistive index of proper hepatic artery inpatients with diffuse liver disease (78.1+5.9) increased more significantly than that of the control group(69.4+5.7) (p<0.000) Such an increased index could be regarded as one of the finidngs of diffuse liver diseasesand 75% of resistive index was the suggestive cuf-off point for the detection of diffuse liver diseases.
