Budd-Chiari Syndrome – Liver Vein Blockage

What is Budd-Chiari Syndrome

Budd-Chiari Syndrome happens when blood flow out of the liver is blocked due to a clot or narrowing in the hepatic veins.

  • Think of it like a traffic jam in the liver veins: blood cannot leave the liver properly, causing swelling and discomfort.

It is a rare but serious liver condition.

Causes

  • Blood clot in liver veins (thrombosis)
  • Narrowing of veins due to congenital or acquired reasons
  • Certain blood disorders (increased clotting tendency)
  • Long-term liver disease (like cirrhosis)
  • Rarely, infections or tumors can compress veins

Symptoms

  • Pain or heaviness in right upper abdomen
  • Swelling of abdomen (ascites)
  • Enlarged liver and spleen
  • Tiredness, weakness
  • Yellowing of eyes/skin (jaundice)
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • In severe cases: fluid in legs and difficulty breathing

Early diagnosis is very important to prevent complications.

  1. Improving liver circulation and function
