The spleen to liver volume (S/L) ratio of 13 patients with fulminant hepatitis was determined using X-ray computed tomography (CT), and the correlation between S/L ratio and prognosis was evaluated. The S/L ratio of 6 patients who died was greater than 0.16, whereas that of the remaining 7 patients who survived was less than 0.15. These findings suggest that determining the S/L ratio using CT may be useful for assessing the eligibility of patients with fulminant hepatitis for liver transplantation.
采用X线计算机断层扫描(CT)测定了13例暴发性肝炎患者的脾肝体积比(S/L),并评估了S/L比与预后之间的相关性。6例死亡患者的S/L比大于0.16,而其余7例存活患者的S/L比小于0.15。这些结果表明,利用CT测定S/L比可能有助于评估暴发性肝炎患者是否适合进行肝移植。
