Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare but serious condition that affects the liver. It is characterized by the obstruction or blockage of the hepatic veins, which are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the liver back to the heart. This obstruction leads to impaired blood flow out of the liver, resulting in liver damage and dysfunction.
Dr. Ronak Ajmera says the causes of Budd-Chiari syndrome can vary, but they typically involve a combination of factors that lead to the blockage of the hepatic veins. The most common underlying cause is the formation of blood clots within the veins, which can occur in any part of the body but often form in the large veins of the abdomen. These blood clots can then migrate and block the hepatic veins, leading to Budd-Chiari syndrome.
