Budd Chiari Syndrome

Budd Chiari Syndrome (BCS) is related to an obstruction of the hepatic veins that drain the liver (venous outflow tract at the hepatic veins or the inferior vena cava).  The obstruction leads to hepatic congestion, release of free radicals, oxydative injury and ischemic necrosis (death of liver tissues due to stop of blood circulation).
