Can liver problems be caused by vasculitis?

[RedPoppy2]

Hello,

I had a liver biopsy, which showed "perivenular sinusoidal dilation and congestion with associated collapse". My hepatologist then arranged a CT scan to check for "venous outflow obstruction". The CT scan was clear and I was subsequently discharged, so never got an explanation of what the the sinusoidal problem was. My daughter has recently been diagnosed with vasculitis and I am wondering if my problem could also be vasculitis.

Dear RedPoppy2,

If you are in the UK and would find it useful to talk things over, our nurse-led helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm on 0800 652 7330 (excluding bank holidays).

We also facilitate a range of virtual support groups for people living with a liver condition, their families and carers. If you are in the UK and would find it helpful to speak to others with shared experience, you can register to join a group here:
