1st ed. 2020 Edition
by Xingshun Qi (Editor)
This book offers a systematic introduction to Budd-Chiari syndrome, a
rare but life-threatening vascular disorder of the liver, which refers
to obstructions at any site from the hepatic veins to the suprahepatic
inferior vena cava.
The book mainly covers the history,
epidemiology, etiology and risk factors, pathology, diagnosis,
pharmacological and interventional aspects, surgical treatment,
etiological treatment, and prognostic assessment of Budd-Chiari
syndrome. Notably, it also presents cutting-edge research findings in
this field. The early diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome is vital, as it
allows clinicians to pursue more targeted and effective treatment
strategies, thus improving patient outcomes. However, much information,
including the latest advances, has not yet been fully disseminated in
current clinical practice. This book addresses that gap, helping
physicians to improve diagnosis and establish standard treatment
strategies, helping researchers conduct clinical and experimental
studies, and even helping patients and their relatives to recognize this
disease.
