What Is Budd Chiari Syndrome?
5. Other Causes
In addition to blood clotting disease, there are some other medical conditions that can lead to Budd Chiari syndrome developing. Some vitamin deficiencies can cause it, particularly deficiencies of vitamins S and C. Some form of injury to the liver is also the underlying cause in some cases.
Inflammatory disorders can also cause the problem, including phlebitis, which is the inflammation of the veins. Blockages elsewhere in the cardio-vascular system can also cause the condition. Certain infections are also a potential cause while cancer, including liver cancer, can also cause the syndrome. Some types of medication can also be behind Budd Chiari syndrome.
