What Is Budd Chiari Syndrome?
Whenever we eat or drink, we ingest some compounds that are not good for us, or are at least not needed. This includes various toxins that might do us harm if they were allowed to build up in our system. To overcome this problem, we evolved livers that help to filter out unwanted substances from the food that we eat.
This makes it very important that the liver is kept in good health, and we would die if we were to lose our liver altogether. Things can go wrong with our liver, however, and some of these problems can be very dangerous for us. One such problem is Budd Chiari syndrome, although it can be treated most of the time.
