Abstract

A middle aged male presented with abdominal distension since one month. Further workup showed plasma hemoglobin of 18.1 g/dL with a high pack cell volume (PCV), raised urea, creatinine and disturbed liver function tests. Abdominal ultrasonography showed an enlarged caudate lobe with thrombi in the inferior vena cava while CT scan of abdomen confirmed the same findings and was suggestive of Budd-Chiari syndrome. Further workup was conducted to rule out other causes and to find out the possible cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome. A peripheral film was requested, which showed hyper-segmented neutrophils. Later on JAK2 mutation and thrombophilia profile was ordered, which was positive for JAK2 mutation. Even though the patient was started on low molecular weight heparin but he eventually passed away.
