background: we tested whether hepatic haemodynamics assessed by doppler ultrasonography can be a predictor of response to therapy in patients with non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) to prevent further unnecessary diagnostic tests and interventions. methods: forty eight consecutive patients affected by nafld, who refered to some clinics in tabriz, iran between 2009 and 2011 were included ...

background: doppler indices of umbilical artery are used as indicator of fetal well being. objective: to compare doppler parameters of umbilical artery including pulsatility index (pi) and resistance index (ri) in patients with preeclampsia with those of normal pregnancies and to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of these parameters in preeclampsia. materials and methods: in a case contro...

Background. Alterations in thyroid hormones regulation and metabolism are frequently observed in patients with cirrhosis. Aims. To assess alterations in thyroid volume (TV), haemodynamics, and hormones in patients with cirrhosis and their relation to hepatic arterial haemodynamics, and disease severity. Methods. Forty cirrhotic patients were compared to 30 healthy subjects regarding TV, free tr...

although gastrointestinal bleeding is common, hemobilia due to the rupture of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is uncommon. we report a case of hemobilia which was successfully treated via angiography.

BACKGROUND Vascular complications are major complications after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), especially in biliary atresia (BA). Early diagnosis and treatment of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) may ensure optimal graft function and good recipient survival. Our aim was to find any association between pre- and post-transplant anatomic characteristics and hemodynamics, and the occurrenc...

BACKGROUND We tested whether hepatic haemodynamics assessed by Doppler ultrasonography can be a predictor of response to therapy in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to prevent further unnecessary diagnostic tests and interventions. METHODS Forty eight consecutive patients affected by NAFLD, who refered to some clinics in Tabriz, Iran between 2009 and 2011 were included ...

BACKGROUND The hemodynamic changes in hepatic vascular structures of hepatosteatosis patients were examined using Doppler ultrasonography. MATERIAL/METHODS Ninety hepatosteatosis patients, classified as mild, moderate or severe, and 30 healthy volunteers were included in this 120-person study. The height, weight, liver size, blood lipids and blood liver function tests of the subjects were mea...

acute cholangitis (ac) is commonly observed in general practice with different causes. we report a case of recurrent ac caused by anomaly of the right hepatic artery, as a rare underlying condition.
