Abstract

<p>A 32-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome with complete obstruction of the right and the middle hepatic vein as well as severe stenosis in the left hepatic vein. She had esophageal varices (F2) and low platelet counts (10.7 × 104/mm3). She underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the left hepatic vein. Liver stiffness was decreased from 66.4 kPa before PTA to 16.8 kPa after 3 h and 10.4 kPa after 4 months with an improvement in the esophageal varices (F0) and platelet count (16.5 × 104/mm3). Furthermore, the serum level of hyaluronic acid decreased from 76 ng/ml before PTA to <9 ng/ml after 4 months. To our knowledge, this is the first case wherein liver stiffness was able to reflect hepatic congestion and helped monitor the therapeutic effect in Budd-Chiari syndrome.</p>
