The protein C anticoagulant pathway is an important downregulating mechanism of the blood coagulation cascade. We report a 47-yr-old male with Budd-Chiari syndrome and occlusion of the inferior vena cava. His plasma protein C antigen level was decreased to 42%, and its activity was 34%. Other coagulable factors were normal. Protein C deficiency should be considered a possible etiological factor of the Budd-Chiari syndrome.

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.
