Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To characterize central hemodynamics and portal-hepatic blood flow in patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis.
METHODS
Ultrasound investigation, tetrapolar rheography, hepatic scintigraphy were made in 149 patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis B, C and B + C.
RESULTS
The above patients had disturbances in central hemodynamics manifesting with developing myocardiodystrophy and hyperkinetic hemodynamics syndrome; decreased intensity and increased amplitude of respiratory fluctuations of volumic hepatic blood flow; impairment of peripheral blood flow.
CONCLUSIONS
The above changes were most prominent in patients with chronic hepatitis B + C.
