Hi all. I was wondering if anyone here has come across this in their travels with AS? I was diagnosed with this after I had my liver biopsy last week. Veno-occlusive disease is similar to Budd-Chiari syndrome (see Budd-Chiari Syndrome) except that blood flow is blocked only in very small blood vessels in the liver rather than in larger ones in the liver or in blood vessels outside the liver. That is, blockages do not affect the large hepatic veins and the inferior vena cava (the large vein that carries blood from the lower parts of the body, including the liver, to the heart). The doctor said it was unusual to see this without the usual suspects happening first, bone marrow transplant or heart issues. I have neither. Thanks.
Timo

Hey, Timo:
I have not come across this condition linked with AS, but we can get a form of amyloidosis; I suppose they did not get the biopsy stains mixed up, I mean if they went to the extent of doing this procedure, it is probably as accurate as they can get.
Hope that there is a reasonable treatment for it.
HEALTH,
John

Hello Timo,
I have never heard of it... hopefully they can find something for you to treat it.
