A study group of 50 patients in whom the left portal vein diameter was equal to or greater than the right portal vein diameter (LPVD greater than or equal to RPVD) was prospectively compared on ultrasonography with a control group of 50 patients with LPVD less than RPVD. Clinical and laboratory data indicating chronic alcoholic liver disease (CALD) were observed with a significantly higher frequency in the study group than in the control group. It emerges from this study that LPVD greater than or equal to RPVD represents a useful ultrasonographic sign of CALD, corresponding to a relative enlargement of the left hepatic lobe compared with the right.
对50例左门静脉直径等于或大于右门静脉直径（LPVD≥RPVD）的患者组成的研究组，与50例LPVD小于RPVD的对照组患者进行前瞻性超声检查比较。结果发现，提示慢性酒精性肝病（CALD）的临床和实验室数据在研究组中的出现频率显著高于对照组。该研究表明，LPVD≥RPVD是CALD的一个有用的超声征象，这与左肝叶相对于右肝叶的相对增大有关。
