What is HEPATO PORTAL DOPPLER?
HEPATO PORTAL DOPPLER is a liver function test that measures the level of a specific enzyme in the blood. When liver cells are healthy, these enzymes stay inside the cells. When the liver is damaged or inflamed , due to infection, alcohol, fatty deposits, or medication , enzymes leak into the bloodstream at elevated levels, which this test detects.
What does HEPATO PORTAL DOPPLER measure?
A hepato portal Doppler is an ultrasound test that looks at blood flow in the liver’s vessels. It measures flow in the portal vein, hepatic artery, and hepatic veins. Blood flow patterns are important for liver function and for clearing toxins. Liver enzymes released into the bloodstream correlate with the degree of liver cell damage , mild elevations suggest early fatty liver or medication effects, while very high values indicate acute hepatitis or significant injury. The test uses a blood sample and results are typically available the same day.
What do the results of HEPATO PORTAL DOPPLER mean?
Normal liver enzyme values fall within defined ranges that vary by gender and laboratory. Once results are ready, your doctor will interpret each value alongside your symptoms, medications, and medical history. Persistently abnormal values trigger further investigation such as an ultrasound abdomen or a hepatitis screen.

It is also standard in annual health packages for adults above 35.
Who should get HEPATO PORTAL DOPPLER done?
