| Popis: | PURPOSE This study investigated hemodynamic changes in the resistance index of the hepatic artery after mixed-meal ingestion. METHODS We used color Doppler sonography to measure hemodynamic changes in the right hepatic artery in response to mixed-meal ingestion (225 ml, 69 g, 300 kcal) in 9 healthy subjects, 15 patients with chronic hepatitis with low-grade fibrosis (no bridging), 10 patients with chronic hepatitis with moderate-grade (bridging) fibrosis, and 18 patients with cirrhosis. RESULTS After mixed-meal ingestion, the mean (+/-standard error) maximum increase in the resistance index of the right hepatic artery in healthy subjects was 31+/-2%. These changes were significantly greater than those in patients with chronic hepatitis with low-grade fibrosis (22+/-2%; p |
