Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Liver Biopsy and Histology
- Liver Biopsy and Histology may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
- Liver Biopsy and Histology is a useful investigation if liver transplantation is being considered as it helps identify the degree of hepatocellular damage and the degree of fibrosis. Findings on liver biopsy suggestive of Budd Chiari include:
- Venous congestion high grade
- centrilobular liver cell atrophy
- thrombi within the terminal hepatic venules
- Massive fibrosis in fulminant hepatic failure
Angiography and venography
- Angiography and venography may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
- Invasive imaging methods are used to identify obstruction of the venous outflow.
- Angiography of the inferior venacava and hepatic veins can be used together with interventional therapeutic procedures to restore patency of the vessels.
