Single-Center Retrospective Study of Clinical and Laboratory Features That Predict Survival of Patients With Budd-Chiari Syndrome After Liver Transplant.
CONCLUSIONS: Nausea/vomiting, splenomegaly, low serum cholinesterase, and high alkaline phosphatase were associated with adverse outcomes after orthotopic liver transplant for Budd-Chiari syndrome. These factors may be surrogate markers for a severely impaired health status at time of diagnosis and should be evaluated prospectively in larger cohorts.
