Study Notes
Plug Flow Characteristics
- Plug flow occurs when blood cells travel at roughly the same speed across a vessel, creating a clear window in the spectral waveform.
Normal Resistive Index
- A normal resistive index is 0.7.
Budd-Chiari Syndrome
- Budd-Chiari syndrome is characterized by thrombosis of the hepatic veins.
Renal Vein Obstruction Clinical Signs
- Signs of renal vein obstruction include flank pain, hematuria, a flank mass, proteinuria, maternal diabetes, and transient hypertension.
Spontaneous Shunting Sites for Portal Hypertension Decompression
- Spontaneous shunts that naturally decompress portal hypertension include gastroesophageal, paraumbilical vein, hemorrhoidal anastomoses, and retroperitoneal anastomoses.
Hepatic Vein Origin
- Hepatic veins originate within the liver and drain into the inferior vena cava (IVC).
