Budd-Chiari Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Budd-Chiari syndrome is an obstruction of the flow of blood that leaves the liver through the hepatic veins, causing blood to accumulate in the organ and increasing the pressure within the liver's venous system.
Common symptoms: pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, fluid buildup in the belly, enlargement of the liver, and, at times, yellowish discoloration of the skin.
Common causes: it is usually related to conditions that increase the blood's tendency to form clots within these veins.
Whom to see? Because it is a problem of the venous circulation, its study involves a cardiovascular evaluation in addition to a focus on the liver. Given abdominal swelling, pain in that area, or yellowish discoloration of the skin, it is important to seek timely medical care.
