Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari. Ultrasound is the first line imaging method preferred for its high sensitivity and specificity of up to 85%. Color-flow doppler ultrasonography is used to confirm the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari. Ultrasound is the first line imaging method preferred for its high sensitivity and specificity of up to 85%.[1]
  • Color-flow Doppler ultrasonography is used to confirm the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
  • Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Acute Budd-Chiari include :
    • Hepatomegaly
    • Splenomegaly
    • Heterogeneous echotexture
  • Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Chronic Budd-Chiari include :
    • hypertrophied caudate lobe
    • peripheral atrophy of affected regions
    • regenerative nodules
    • gallbladder wall thickening
    • Ascites
