METHOD FOR PREDICTING HEPATIC CHRONIC DIFFUSE DISEASES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, hepatology.

SUBSTANCE: one should detect splenic length in mm (X1) and circulation in portal vein, moreover, additionally, on should detect volumetric circulation in splenic vein in cu. cm/min. (X2), the index for the ratio of volumetric circulation in splenic vein to the area of longitudinal splenic section (X3), circulatory direction in left-hand gastric vein (X4) by establishing its direction towards the liver to be 1, from the liver to be 2, diameter of splenic artery in cm (X5) and transhepatic portal volumetric circulation in cu. cm/min. (X6), then one should calculate discriminant function Z = 15.9850 - 0.0187X1 + 0.2006X3 - 1.9025X4 - 19.0493X5 - 0.0025X6, where Z - the criterion for predicting "healthy-sick" state; then it is necessary to detect the group with hepatic diseases by the value of Z ≤ 1.621 to calculate for them discriminant function Y = 9.7396 - 0.0279X1 - 0.0018X2 + 0.1873X3 - 4.9174X4, where Y - the criterion to predict "patients with chronic hepatitis - patients with cirrhosis" state and at Y > 1.239 one should diagnose chronic hepatitis, at Y ≤ 1.239 - cirrhosis.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of diagnostics.
