BUDD CHIARI SYNDROME
DESCRIPTION |

|
|
The liver, the largest internal organ in
the human body, is responsible for many vital physiologic processes.
Blood flow through the liver nourishes the liver, carries in
substances that the liver will process, and carries away substances
that the liver has produced. When blood cannot flow out freely from
the liver, blood pressure rises in the veins of the liver, leading
to blood clots within the liver. Also, some of the blood plasma can
leak through the walls of the veins and accumulate within the
abdomen (ascites). |
