Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Recently, it is known that thoracic duct become thick depending on the progression of liver disease, and the observation of the thoracic duct as the condition in the liver disease is gathering attention. Conventionally, MRI has been used for thoracic duct observation, but ultrasonography can
depict it, too. We aim to clarify the effectiveness of ultrasonography in the thoracic duct to evaluate the liver disease condition.

Results

A scatter plot of HVPG and thoracic duct diameter classified patients into two groups: one with a strong positive correlation (r = 0.662) and another with HVPG elevation despite duct narrowing, often associated with refractory ascites. Adding thoracic duct diameter to the Baveno VII criteria maintained CSPH diagnostic accuracy while reducing unclassified cases from 68 to 18.
