Budd-Chiari Syndrome

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare condition characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction that is not caused by cardiac or pericardial disease. This condition is classified into primary Budd-Chiari syndrome, which results from thrombosis or inflammation of the hepatic vein walls, and secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome, caused by external compression or invasion, often due to malignancies. The disease presents in acute, subacute, or chronic forms, with symptoms including abdominal pain, ascites, and hepatomegaly. This course explores the complexities surrounding Budd-Chiari syndrome, including conducting recommended diagnostic evaluations and addressing underlying etiologies. Furthermore, if ineffectively treated, Budd-Chiari syndrome can lead to complications such as portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in identifying Budd-Chiari syndrome, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition to improve patient outcomes.
