Description
Estimated cost for Hepatic Arteriography at general public hospitals in China is about ¥1400-3200, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥2000-4000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Hepatic arteriography is primarily used for: 1. Diagnosing and assessing liver tumors, 2. Evaluating vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms or AVMs, 3. Planning and guiding interventional procedures like embolization, 4. Assessing the extent of liver disease, 5. Identifying the source of gastrointestinal bleeding when it is suspected to originate from the liver or its vasculature
Normal Range
In a hepatic arteriography, the normal range is not defined by numerical values but rather by the absence of abnormal findings such as aneurysms, stenosis, or vascular malformations. The liver's blood supply should appear uniform without any unexpected blockages or irregularities.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values or poor visualization in hepatic arteriography can be caused by: 1. Technical issues with the imaging process, 2. Insufficient contrast medium, 3. Vascular occlusion or spasm, 4. Slow blood flow due to hypotension, 5. Patient movement during the procedure
High Values - Possible Causes
High values or over-visualization in hepatic arteriography might indicate: 1. Aneurysm, 2. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM), 3. Tumor neovascularization, 4. Inflammation leading to increased blood flow, 5. Vascular dilation
