Purpose:The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of obesity related hepatosteatosis on hepatic artery flow volume by Doppler ultrasonography in pediatric age group. Materials and methods: The hepatic artery flow volume of 42 obese patients according to BMI and 32 patients having normal BMI were evaluated using Doppler ultrasonography. The ages of the patients were between 8.5 and 17 year. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the normal group and obese group according to the mean hepatic artery flow volume (p>0.05). Increased hepatic artery flow volume was parallel with increased grade of hepatosteatosis, however, this was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Strong correlation was observed between obesity and hepaosteatosis (r=0.638). Conclusion:Increased grade of hepatosteatosis due to obesity is accompanied with a relative increase in hepatic artery flow volume. The use of this parameter can provide limited contribution in routine follow up examinations. Pam Med J 2014;7(2):131-136
