Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between acoustic radiation force impulse imaging(ARFI) and reserve function of liver and the feasibility of liver reserve function assessment by ARFI.Methods:According to the inclusion criteria, 74 patients were screened and 71 patients were finally enrolled from Henan Province People′s Hospital during June 2017 and June 2019. The portal vein diameter (D PV), spleen length (L SP) were measured by two-dimensional ultrasound. The liver shear wave velocity (LSWV) and spleen shear wave velocity (SSWV) were measured by ARFI. Serological markers were checked, and the indocyanine green (ICG)15-minute retention rate (ICG R15) was measured by excretion test. The patients were divided into ICG R15<10% group and ICG R15≥10% group, the difference of the measurements between two groups were calculated, the correlations of the measurements and ICG R15 were analyzed. LSWV diagnostic performance for liver reserve function was evaluated by the ROC curve. Results:There were significant differences in LSWV, D PV, SSWV, L SP, aspartate transaminase(AST), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), y-glutamyl transpeptidase(γ-GGT) and albumin (ALB) between ICG R15<10% group and ICG≥10% group( P<0.05), but no significant differences in other measurements( P>0.05). The correlations between ICG R15 and LSWV( r=0.673, P<0.001), D PV( r=0.355, P<0.05), SSWV( r=0.384, P<0.05), L SP( r=0.403, P<0.001), ALP( r s=0.245, P<0.05) and ALB( r s=-0.390, P<0.05) were statistically significant. The ROC curve showed high diagnostic performance for liver reserve function assessment by LSWV. The area under the ROC curve was 0.903 (95% CI=0.810-0.961, P<0.01), and the cut-off value was 2.15 m/s (sensitivity 84.6%, specificity 86.7%). Conclusions:The LSWV can evaluate the reserve function and it is a useful supplement to the ICG excretion experiment.
