Overview

Liver biopsy and histology is a useful investigation if liver transplantation is being considered as it helps identify the degree of hepatocellular damage and the degree of fibrosis. Findings on liver biopsy suggestive of Budd Chiari include high grade venous congestion, centrilobular liver cell atrophy, thrombi within the terminal hepatic venules, massive fibrosis in fulminant hepatic failure. Invasive imaging methods are used to identify obstruction of the venous outflow. Angiography of the inferior vena cava and hepatic veins can be used together with interventional therapeutic procedures to restore patency of the vessels.
