Description
Estimated cost for Portal Venography 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
Portal venography is primarily used to assess the anatomy and patency of the portal venous system. It is commonly used in the diagnosis and evaluation of portal hypertension, detection of portal vein thrombosis, planning for surgical or interventional procedures, and in the assessment of liver transplantation candidates.
Normal Range
The normal range for portal venography is not defined by numerical values but rather by the absence of abnormalities such as stenosis, thrombosis, or varices. The portal vein and its branches should appear smooth and unobstructed.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Portal venography does not provide a numerical value that can be low; however, conditions leading to decreased portal blood flow include: portal hypertension, cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, and congenital anomalies.
High Values - Possible Causes
Similarly, portal venography does not yield a high numerical value. Conditions that may cause increased pressure or abnormal findings in the portal system include: portal hypertension, liver cirrhosis, hepatic tumors, portal vein thrombosis, and splenic vein thrombosis.
