What Is Budd Chiari Syndrome?
10. Lifestyle Changes
People that have Budd Chiari syndrome will likely need to make some changes to their lifestyle, especially when they are still being treated for the condition. These lifestyle changes generally include making changes to your diet. Foods with a high vitamin K content will need to be avoided because the vitamin encourages clotting.
This means avoiding certain vegetables due to their high vitamin k content. Cranberry juice and alcohol can cause an unwelcome reaction to certain medications that thin the blood, so these should also be avoided. While Budd Chiari syndrome can be fatal if it is not treated, most patients will be able to live relatively normal lives.
