Vascular indices in acute liver failure. A, At admission, portal vein flow was reduced in both acute liver failure (ALF) (19.9 ± 14 cm/s) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) (14.6 ± 17 cm/s) compared with controls (37.9 ± 16 cm/s) (Kruskall-Wallis), with some cases of reverse flow. B, No difference is seen in hepatic artery resistive index (HARI), between ALF 0.71 ± 0.1, ACLF 0.71 ± 0.1, healthy control (HC) individuals 0.74 ± 0.1 (analysis of variance). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. ns = not statistically significant.
