DETERMINATION OF NORMAL PORTAL VEIN SIZE AND PEAK SYSTOLIC VELOCITY IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE IN NORTH INDIA
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal vein normal waveform shows gentle undulation with flow towards the liver i.e. hepatopetal flow. In portal hypertension, with progression of disease, as sinusoidal pressure increases, the portal venous flow reduces (Slow flow) which may even stop (No flow) or flow away from liver i.e. hepatofugal flow (Reverse flow).[1,2] Various studies revealed that, the portal vein diameter (PVD) changes with the age and gender distribution. Thus this study aims to establish the normal value of portal vein diameter and PSV in north Indian population in region of Barabanki. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 108 healthy individuals with age ranging from 20 to 60 years attending Radiodiagnosis department at Mayo Institute Of Medical Sciences, Gadia, Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, were chosen for the study. Transabdominal ultrasound was done to measure the diameter of the main portal vein with average of three measurements. RESULTS In present study, the portal vein diameter in males and females was 9.17 ± 2.33 mm and 8.95±1.90 mm respectively with peak systolic velocity ranging from 13 to 15 cms/second. CONCLUSION In our study, portal vein diameter in adult population of 20 to 60 yrs., age group among males and females was found to be 9.17 ± 2.33 mm and 8.95 ± 1.90 mm respectively with peak systolic velocity ranging from 13 to 15 cms/second. These parameters may be assumed as reference values in the local population of Barabanki set in northern Indian region.
