Zusammenfassung

Objective: To compare two alternative ultrasound parameters, hepatic vein flow (HVF) pattern and presence of focal hypoechoeic areas (FHA) within the liver hilus, as non-invasive predictors for liver steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Design: In 122 consecutive patients with chronic HCV infection, the HVF pattern and presence of FHA within the liver hilus were assessed by Duplex-Doppler and B-mode sonography, respectively. All patients underwent liver biopsy and sonographic results were compared to a histological score of steatosis as gold standard. Results: Reduced HVF and FHA…
