Abstract:
Objective
The purpose of study was to establish the range of portal vein, calibre peak
systolic velocity and congestive index (Doppler study) in healthy Pakistani
population determine the ultrasonographic portal vein in individuals without
known disease.
Methods:
Ultrasonographic portal vein measurement & Doppler study was performed
on hundred people without known liver pathology.
It include
• Calibre.
• Velocity
• Congestive index.
Results
The mean calibre was 10.2mm, peak Systolic velocity 19.4cm/s and mean
CI= 0.05cm×s
Conclusion
I concluded that portal vein study is related to age, sex and individual height
& more population based studies are needed to established the normal values
for Pakistani population.
