The correlation between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) grades and hemodynamic alterations of the portal, hepatic, and splenic vein and spleen size.

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the most prevalent chronic liver condition worldwide, affecting over 25% of the population. Fatty infiltration in MASLD leads to hemodynamic changes in hepatic circulation, which can be quantitatively assessed using Color Doppler Ultrasonography (US). In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation of Color Doppler US findings of the portal, hepatic, and splenic venous system within various degrees of MASLD.
