Other Diagnostic Studies

• 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 fibrosisFindings 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
