“…Several previous studies also found no significant differences of the mean PV diameter between males and females. [ 42 45 46 47 48 ] These studies are compatible with the current study where the latter confirmed a slightly larger mean PV diameter in males than that in females; however, the difference also was not significant. Earlier studies revealed that PV diameter was positively correlated with age.…”

Background: Ultrasonographic (USG) measurements of the liver length, gallbladder wall thickness (GBWT), diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC), portal vein (PV), and pancreas are valuable and reliable in diagnosis hepatobiliary and pancreas conditions. This study is aimed to determine the normal values of liver length, GBWT, AP diameters of the IVC and PV, AP diameter of the head and body of the pancreas. Methods: A prospective cross–sectional study was carried out in this study. A total of the 408 participants were randomly recruited using a systematic method. According to the USG reports, the subjects who had normal USG report for liver, biliary system, and pancreas were described as normals, whereas the subjects who had hepatobiliary diseases such as fatty liver, liver cysts, hemangioma, cirrhosis, gallbladder wall thickening, acute cholecystitis, gallstones, and polyps were recorded as abnormal subjects. Results: Of the 408 participants with a mean of 52.6 ± 8.4 years old. Of those, 294 (72.1%) participants were normal and 114 (27.9%) subjects were reported as abnormal. More than half of the study population was males, 52.9% versus 47.1% of females. There was a significant difference of liver length, head, and body of the pancreas between genders ( P = 0.004, 0.002, and P < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, the pancreatic body only was significantly correlated with age ( P = 0.026). There also was a significant difference of the liver length, head, and body of the pancreas between normal and abnormal subjects ( P < 0.001, P = 0.007, and P < 0.001). Conclusion: Liver length, diameter of the head, and body of the pancreas were significantly associated with gender and hepatobiliary diseases. In addition, only the diameter of the body of the pancreas was significantly correlated with age.

“…10,16 A consultant radiologist (sonologist) with over 15 years post qualification training and wealth of experience in clinical sonography practice performed the scan alone, to avoid interobserver error. 11,16 To reduce intraobserver error, the PVD was measured three times and the mean value of the three measurements was recorded as the final value. 16,17 All measurements obtained were recorded on a data capture sheet; the analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0.…”

“…10 The length of the portal vein is of surgical importance especially in interventional procedures like liver transplant, transhepatic portal vein embolization, and pancreatectomy. 11 The major abnormality of the portal venous system in CLD is portal hypertension, from increased resistance to portal venous flow as a result of the enlargement of the intra-and extrahepatic portal vein and subsequent development of portosystemic collaterals. 9 Radiological imaging for CLD assessment involves the examination of morphological features on ultrasonography and other cross-sectional imaging systems like computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”

Sonographic evaluation of the portal vein diameter in patients with chronic liver disease in northeastern Nigeria

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Chronic liver disease is a public health burden worldwide. Portal hypertension is a major portosystemic abnormality in chronic liver disease. This study aimed to determine the main, right, and the left portal vein diameter in patients with chronic liver disease. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, northeastern Nigeria from December 2018 to September 2019. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review board. A total of 200 subjects were recruited comprising 100 patients with chronic liver disease and 100 age-matched controls, aged 18 years and above. A transabdominal ultrasound scan was carried out measuring the main, right, and left portal vein diameter while lying supine and/or in the right anterior oblique position after overnight fasting, or 6 hours before the scan. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) and Pearson’s correlation were used. Results There were 106(53%) males and 94(47%) females, aged between 18 and 73 years with a mean age of 46.79 ± 15.43. The main, right, and left portal vein diameter in patients with chronic liver disease was 14.51 ± 0.78 mm, 6.83 ± 0.81 mm, and 6.26 ± 0.74 mm, which were higher than those of their control. The portal vein diameter positively correlated (weak) with age and respiratory phases among participants ( P < 0.05). Conclusion This study found the main, right, and left portal vein diameter among patients with chronic liver disease to be larger than those of the controls. Ultrasonography is a reliable diagnostic tool in evaluating portosystemic pathologies.

“…Mortality and morbidity due to liver pathology are on the increase and early diagnosis of the onset of hepatic disorders is not easily made using conventional sonographic techniques [1]. Various Doppler indices have been used by different researchers to study the hepatic organ both in diseased and healthy conditions in many parts of the world.…”

Background: Hepatic Doppler sonography gives vital information that helps in early and accurate detection of many hepatic disorders. The absence of local nomograms may have limited the use of these indices in early and accurate detection of the onset of hepatic diseases among Nigerians. No study has shown the relationship that exists between hepatic Doppler parameters and visceral adiposity.Aim: Our aim is to establish baseline values of the portal vein congestive index (PVCI), hepatic artery resistive index (HARI), hepatic artery pulsatility index (HAPI) and hepatic Doppler perfusion index (HDPI) in a given apparently healthy adult Nigerian population and compare these values with those of other races. We also aim at finding the relationship that may exist between these indices and visceral adipose thickness. Materials and Methods:A prospective cross-sectional study with a data capturing sheet was adopted. Diasonics spectra DCN3-2013, Mindray ultrasound machine equipped with Doppler facilities was used. The scan was carried out via two approaches: subcostal approach with the transducer pointing postero-cephalad and angled slightly to the right and right intercostal approach with transducer pointing medially and all Doppler measurements were performed
