The portal vein hemodynamics of patients with various liver diseases were investigated by means of a duplex system consisting of a linear electroscanner and a pulsed Doppler flowmeter. In cases of chronic liver disease, the cross-sectional area of the portal vein trunk became greater as the liver injury proceeded, while the maximum velocity tended to decrease. However, blood flow volume was no different between the controls and the chronic liver disease group. On the other hand, the splenic venous flow volume tended to increase as the liver injury advanced, suggesting that the increase in splenic venous flow volume is closely related to the formation of esophageal varices. This method permits non-invasive observation of changes during the course of various types of liver disease.
