Abstract
Introduction: If we could prove the diagnostic accuracy of hepatic vein resistive index in detecting liver fibrosis in
chronic liver disease patients, this would be beneficial for the patients as it is a non-invasive, readily available,
and cost-effective technique for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis. This will help the physicians in the early initiation
of definitive management.
Materials and Methods: Seventy-five (n=75) patients with hepatitis B aged between 18-50 years were enrolled.
Hepatic vein resistive index and liver biopsy were performed in even-patients. Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV,
and overall accuracy of the hepatic vein resistive index was calculated.
Results: Average age group studied was 38y ± 8.2 SD. 57.3 % (N=43) were males and 42.7% (n=32) patients were
females respectively. Data of this work Exhibits various statistical indicators 77%. 96.7%. 97.2%. 74.3% and 85.3%
respectively.
Conclusion: Hepatic vein resistive index measured by ultrasonography can detect liver fibrosis in CLD with
overall sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of 77.7%. 96.7%. 97.2%. 74.3% and 85.3% respectively.
