This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of various degrees of diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver on the hepatic artery resistance index.
One-hundred forty subjects were examined using standard color and spectral Doppler sonography protocols. Fatty infiltration of the liver was identified and graded sonographically. The patients were grouped (n = 35 in each of 4 groups) according to the degree of diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver as follows: normal (group 1), mild (group 2), moderate (group 3), and severe (group 4). The resistance index calculated for each patient was the mean of 3 measurements. Mean resistance index of the hepatic artery was then calculated for each group.
The mean resistance index was 0.81 +/- 0.04 for group 1, 0.79 +/- 0.06 for group 2, 0.75 +/- 0.05 for group 3, and 0.73 +/- 0.05 for group 4. We found a statistically significant (p < 0.05) decrease in resistance index when comparing groups 3 and 4 with groups 1 and 2 separately.
Hepatic artery resistance index decreases as the severity of diffuse fatty infiltration increases.
本研究旨在评估肝脏不同程度的弥漫性脂肪浸润对肝动脉阻力指数的影响。
采用标准的彩色和频谱多普勒超声检查方案对140名受试者进行检查。通过超声检查识别并分级肝脏脂肪浸润情况。根据肝脏弥漫性脂肪浸润程度将患者分为4组(每组35例):正常组(第1组)、轻度组(第2组)、中度组(第3组)和重度组(第4组)。为每位患者计算的阻力指数为3次测量的平均值。然后计算每组肝动脉的平均阻力指数。
第1组的平均阻力指数为0.81±0.04,第2组为0.79±0.06,第3组为0.75±0.05,第4组为0.73±0.05。将第3组和第4组分别与第1组和第2组进行比较时,我们发现阻力指数有统计学意义的降低(p<0.05)。
随着弥漫性脂肪浸润严重程度的增加,肝动脉阻力指数降低。
