It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Chronic Budd-Chiari Syndrome, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Liver Disease.
Liver failure occurs when the liver stops functioning normally. Symptoms of liver failure include skin and eyes that are yellow in colour, abdominal pain and swelling, swelling in the legs and ankles, itchy skin, dark coloured urine, pale white coloured faeces, severe fatigue, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite and bruising easily. Liver failure can be misdiagnosed as pseudocirrhosis, fulminant hepatic failure, military metastases, sarcoidosis, schistosomiasis, congenital hepatic fibrosis, idiopathic portal hypertension, early primary biliary cirrhosis, chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome, nodular regenerative hyperplasia and chronic portal vein thrombosis.
