Colonic wall thickening may occur in patients with end-stage liver disease. This study was conducted to correlate colonoscopy with CT-detected colonic wall thickening in this group of patients to assess their radiologic and clinical relevance.
Our results suggest that CT findings of colonic wall thickening in end-stage liver disease should be considered benign, and colonoscopy is unnecessary for the evaluation of malignancy or colitis unless it is clinically indicated.
终末期肝病患者可能出现结肠壁增厚。本研究旨在将结肠镜检查与CT检测到的该组患者结肠壁增厚情况相关联，以评估其影像学和临床相关性。
我们的结果表明，终末期肝病患者结肠壁增厚的CT表现应被视为良性，除非有临床指征，否则无需进行结肠镜检查以评估恶性肿瘤或结肠炎。
