Ultrasonic demonstration of clinical and subclinical hepatic venous thrombosis in paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. 1986

H S Birgens, and S Hancke, and A Rosenklint, and N E Hansen

Extensive hepatic venous thrombosis was demonstrated by ultrasonic scanning in three patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The ultrasonography results were confirmed by X-ray venography. Two of these patients were without clinical symptoms of hepatic involvement apart from a slight increase in transaminases. This study indicates, firstly, that ultrasonic scanning is a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool in monitoring patients for this serious and often fatal complication, and, secondly, that hepatic venous thrombosis may be a more common complication in PNH than previously assumed.

D006457 Hemoglobinuria, Paroxysmal A condition characterized by the recurrence of HEMOGLOBINURIA caused by intravascular HEMOLYSIS. In cases occurring upon cold exposure (paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria), usually after infections, there is a circulating antibody which is also a cold hemolysin. In cases occurring during or after sleep (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), the clonal hematopoietic stem cells exhibit a global deficiency of cell membrane proteins.

D006502 Budd-Chiari Syndrome A condition in which the hepatic venous outflow is obstructed anywhere from the small HEPATIC VEINS to the junction of the INFERIOR VENA CAVA and the RIGHT ATRIUM. Usually the blockage is extrahepatic and caused by blood clots (THROMBUS) or fibrous webs. Parenchymal FIBROSIS is uncommon.
