METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING IMPAIRED BLOOD FLOW IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD VESSELS OF LIVER IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC VIRAL HEPATITIS C TRANSFORMING TO CIRRHOSIS

摘要

A method for diagnosing the impaired blood flow in the peripheral blood vessels of the liver in the patients with the chronic viral hepatitis C transforming to cirrhosis provides for the assessment of the impaired circulation in the vasculature of the liver using ultrasonic Dopplerography in 3D visualization mode applying the energetic Doppler PD mode. The decrease in the indices of blood flow and vascularization are assessed in small blood vessels is indicative of the impaired circulation in the small blood vessels in the liver.
