An observational study in CT Portography Grading of Liver Cirrhosis, sponsored by Assiut University. Status unknown. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-06-27.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are serious complications of hepatic cirrhosis, and they may lead to high mortality rate and severely threaten life quality of the patients
The occurrence and development of Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy are closely related with portal vein system diseases, such as collateral circulation of portal hypertension and portal vein thrombosis.
The prevention of Esophageal variceal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy in hepatic cirrhosis has become a hot spot in clinical practice.
Three-dimensional reconstruction of images obtained by multi-slice spiral computed tomography portography (MSCTP) is clear, realistic, and accurate.
It can directly and quickly display all anatomical information of collateral portal vein system, and is recognized as a good method to display blood vessels
liver cirrhosis
Exclusion Criteria:
imaging modality
Grading of liver cirrhosis
Grade I: i)level 4-5 by portal development will achieved in intrahepatic portal vein imaging; ii) collateral circulation mainly open at esophageal gastric fundus vein, or one branch of para-umbilical vein or esophageal peripheral vein was open; iii) hepatic artery-portal vein fistula or portal vein embolus was not formed. Grade II: i)level 3-4 by portal development will achieved in intrahepatic portal vein imaging; ii) in addition to opening of collateral circulation at esophageal gastric fundus vein, 2-3 branches of para-umbilical vein or esophageal peripheral vein open; iii) some hepatic artery-portal vein fistula or portal vein embolus not observed. Grade lll: level 2-3 by portal development are achieved in intrahepatic portal vein imaging; ii) esophageal gastric fundus vein, para-umbilical vein or esophageal peripheral vein all open, iii) hepatic artery-portal vein fistula or portal vein embolus is formed. Then we will do correlation with child -pugh score
Time frame: 15 min
prediction of esophageal varices and hepatic encephalopathy
measuring diameters of main portal vein,left gastric, splenic, intra hepatic right and left portal vein.
