Hepatic veno-occlusive disease - what does this mean
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease is a rare condition in which the small veins in the liver become blocked, leading to a build-up of pressure in the liver and a decrease in blood flow. this can cause liver damage, scarring, and eventually, liver failure.
What happens during the disease - hepatic veno-occlusive disease
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease is a rare disorder caused by occlusion of the small veins in the liver. it is thought to be caused by an abnormal inflammatory response to the presence of a toxin, virus, or drug, which triggers the body's immune system to produce antibodies that damage the walls of the small veins, leading to blockage and eventual death of the cells in the liver. the resulting inflammation and scarring of the liver can lead to liver failure and death if not treated.
