Abstract:
Objective To summarize the clinical features of Budd-Chiari syndrome.Methods A total of 151 Budd-Chiari syndrome admitted in Peking University People's Hospital from 1996 to 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Abdominal distension was the most common complaint,with 62.9％ (95/151)of lower extremity edema,53.0％ (80/151)of typical bottom-up flow of the abdominal wall longitudinal varicose veins and 60.9％ (92/151) with ascites.Laboratory tests results showed median of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 21.5 (15.0,30.0) U/L,aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 30.0 (23.8,42.0) U/L,total bilirubin was 31.1 (23.3,47.8) μmol/L,blood albumin 37.5 was (31.8,41.5) g/L,prothrombin activity was 71％ (61％,84％).WBC was 5.2 (3.5,7.5) × 109/L,hemoglobin concentration was 126.5 (108.8,144.2) g/L,and platelet count was 117.0 (85.5,155.5) × 109/L.Abdominal B-ultrasound examination showed hepatomegaly existed in 68.9％ (104/151) patients.Intraoperative angiography and surgical exploration showed that 41.1％ (62/151) patients were simple inferior vena cava obstruction or stenosis,15.9％ (24/151)were simple hepatic vein obstruction or stenosis and 43.0％ (65/151) suffered from the inferior vena cava combined with hepatic vein stenosis or obstruction.Surgically confirmation of the lesions showed that inferior vena cava membrane-like structure combined with thrombosis was in 59.6％ (90/151) cases.Conclusions Liver congestion,inferior vena cava congestion and portal hypertension are the main clinical manifestations of Budd-Chiari syndrome.With slightly liver function injury,liver dysfunction of Budd-Chiari syndrome isn't parallel with its portal hypertension.
