Abstract

Background: Chronic liver diseases (CLD) represent a significant global health challenge, requiring effective and non-invasive diagnostic methods. Doppler Ultrasound (DU) has emerged as a promising tool for assessing liver pathology, particularly in diagnosing liver fibrosis and cirrhosis through vascular pattern analysis. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic utility of Doppler Ultrasound in chronic liver diseases and compare its efficacy with conventional diagnostic modalities. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 55 patients diagnosed with various stages of chronic liver disease at a tertiary care center. Doppler Ultrasound was utilized to assess hemodynamic changes and liver architecture, and its findings were compared with clinical, biochemical, and histopathological data. Diagnostic effectiveness was measured in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value.
