Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between the grading of schistosomiasis japonica hepatic lesions by B-ultrasonography and the portal vein and splenic vein haemodynamics. Methods The grades of 125 schistosomiasis patients’ hepatic lesions were determined by Doppler ultrasonography according to the method recommended by WHO/TDR. The portal vein and splenic vein inner diameters and blood flow velocity were examined and the portal vein and splenic vein volumes of blood flow were calculated in the patients above mentioned and 51 normal persons. Results The inner diameters, blood flow velocity and volumes of blood flow of portal vein and splenic vein in the patients were significantly different from those in the normal persons, and also there were significant differences among the patients with different degrees of fibrosis. Conclusions The changes of schistosomiasis patients’ portal vein haemodynamics is connect with the liver parenchyma characteristics. The step up of the ratio of blood flow volume of splenic vein with the portal vein is breakdown with the aggravate of the hepatic lesion.
