pubmed:abstractText
Hepatic cirrhosis is accompanied by several haemodynamic changes including arterialisation of the liver, intrahepatic shunts, pulmonary arteriovenous shunts, and a hyperdynamic circulatory state. We postulated that the hepatic first pass of a bolus of an ultrasound contrast agent injected into a peripheral vein is accelerated in patients with cirrhosis. We investigated this first pass in patients with diffuse liver disease and in normal controls to assess whether it provides useful differential diagnostic information.
