The Damping Index value to estimate cirrhosis liver portal hypertension

Macedonian Science Society - Bitola 01/2009; УДК 616.12-008.331.1. .616.36-004(497.774):11-12. pp.11-12

ABSTRACT We estimate hepatic waveform and Dаmping Index by Doppler ultrasound. The aim of the study is to estimate value of them to assign portal hypertension degree. Triphasic waveform have 11,25% of objects, biphasic 27,5%, biphasic reduced have 36,25% and flat waveform have 15%. The mean value of damping index was 0,59±0,18, but when it is more then 0,6 there is hard degree of portal hypertension. Reduced phases and high value of damping index have a great value as prognostic sign for advanced cirrhosis with portal hypertension.
