This will help the physicians in the early initiation of definitive management.</p> <p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>Seventy-five (n<sup>=</sup>75) patients with hepatitis B aged between 18-50 years were enrolled. Hepatic vein resistive index and liver biopsy were performed in even-patients. Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, and overall accuracy of the hepatic vein resistive index was calculated.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Average age group studied was  38y ± 8.2 SD. 57.3 % (N=43) were males and 42.7% (n=32) patients were females respectively. Data of this work Exhibits various statistical indicators 77%. 96.7%. 97.2%. 74.3% and 85.3% respectively.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Hepatic vein resistive index measured by ultrasonography can detect liver fibrosis in CLD with overall sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of 77.7%. 96.7%. 97.2%. 74.3% and 85.3% respectively.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={ SidrahNadeem,SanaWasim,SidrahManzoor,HareemAta,RiffatRaja,SadafArooj, SidrahNadeem,SanaWasim,SidrahManzoor,HareemAta,RiffatRaja,SadafArooj}, year={2020}, month={Sep.} }
