HEPATIC DOPPLER ULTRASOUND - PORTAL
Service Description
Hepatic and portal Doppler ultrasound is a specialized study that combines conventional abdominal ultrasound with color and spectral Doppler technology to analyze the vascular circulation of the liver, including the portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic veins. This examination is non-invasive, safe, and radiation-free, and is essential for assessing hepatic hemodynamic function and detecting circulatory abnormalities associated with liver or systemic diseases. During the study, the hepatic portal and arterial system is examined, evaluating the direction of flow (hepatopeto or hepatofugal), velocity, and spectral pattern, as well as the presence of thrombosis, stenosis, portal hypertension, or collateral shunts. Most frequent clinical indications: Diagnosis or monitoring of portal hypertension. Evaluation of thrombosis of the portal vein or hepatic veins (Budd-Chiari syndrome). Study of hepatic blood flow in cirrhosis or chronic liver disease. Post-liver transplant monitoring (evaluation of vascular anastomoses). Evaluation of liver lesions with a vascular component (tumors, hemangiomas, HCC). Monitoring of patients with chronic liver disease or ascites. Hepatic Doppler ultrasound allows for the early identification of alterations in perfusion and intrahepatic blood flow, making it a key tool in the functional assessment of the liver and its vascular system. Preparation: Fasting for 6 to 8 hours before the exam is recommended to optimize visualization of the liver and its vessels. The procedure is outpatient, quick, and completely painless. 📍 Schedule your hepatic and portal Doppler ultrasound and obtain a comprehensive study of blood flow in the liver and portal system using advanced ultrasound technology.
