Patency and direction of flow in portal veins and their branches are generally assessed by duplex Doppler ultrasonography (DDUS), whereas few data are available on hepatic arterial hemodynamics. In this study, resistive (RI) and pulsatility indexes (PI) were calculated at DDUS in 21 controls, 22 chr

Portal hypertension in alcoholic liver disease has been attributed to an increased resistance to blood flow either of sinusoidal or of postsinusoidal origin. The former should be accompanied by sinusoidal compression while the latter is expected to result in an increased or a normal sinusoidal diame
Alcoholic liver disease is characterized by the accumulation of fat and inflammatory changes in the liver. Because free fatty acids, the precursors of triglycerides, can damage biological membranes, accumulation of free fatty acids in the liver might be in part responsible for the functional and mor
