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.
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 echo texture
- Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of chronic Budd-Chiari include :
- Hypertrophied caudate lobe
- Peripheral atrophy of affected regions
- Regenerative nodules
- Gallbladder wall thickening
- Ascites
