🗑
True or False: Sudden onset of ascites, acute abdominal pain, and elevated D-dimer are all indications for a Hepatic Doppler study.   True.

True or False: The hepatic veins are intersegmental and contain valves.   False. They do not have valves.  
🗑
What two things affect portal vein diameter and velocity of flow?   Patient respiration and ingestion of food.  
🗑
When is portal vein diameter increased?   Portal Hypertension, Congestive Heart Failure, Constrictive pericarditis, and Portal Vein Thrombosis.  
🗑
What do the Doppler Spectral Waveforms of the portal vein look like?   Monophasic and slightly pulsatile or undulating.  
🗑
What does the Hepatic Vein waveforms look like?   Pulsatile triphasic waveform with antegrade and retrograde flow. It changes with the cyclic pressure changes within the heart.  
🗑
What does the Valsalva maneuver do to the Hepatic Vein waveform?   Diminishes the waveform pulsatility.  
🗑
True or False: The Portal Vein and the Hepatic Artery carry blood flowing in the same direction.   True. It is Hepatopetal Flow- toward the liver.

What is the "hepatic buffer response"?   When the portal blood flow increases, hepatic arterial flow decreases and vice versa.
