Variation of Normal Portal Venous Doppler Indices in Post-Operative Period Following Living Donor Liver Transplant

Objective: To investigate the variations in normal Doppler indices of portal vein during post-operative period following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Methodology: This retrospective cohort study was carried out at Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute Research Centre from July 1 to December 31 2021. It included all adult patients over 16 years age who underwent Living Donor Transplant Triplex ultrasound LDLT recipients performed intraoperatively postoperatively for 5 consecutive days. Subsequent scans were 2 weeks, 4 months, 6 months after transplant. Portal velocities taken extrahepatic part, anastomosis, intrahepatic part. Statistical analysis using SPSS version 20. Results: The involved 91 patients, with ages ranging 17 73 a mean 44.9 years. Among recipients, 79% male 21% female. venous varied between cm/s 357 cm/s. All had antegrade flow. normalized within 4-6 LDLT. Conclusion: A wide range can be encountered without clinically significant outcome these usually normalize
