Overview

The management of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome depends on the severity of the disease. However, supportive care is the mainstay of therapy for mild and moderate sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. The severe form of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome needs defibrotide (thrombolytic agent) along with supportive care. Patients are advised to avoid supplements and medications that are linked to hepatic injury.

Medical Therapy

  • The management of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome depends on the severity of the disease.[1]
  • Supportive care is the mainstay of treatment.[2]
  • Supportive measures include:
  • Patients with mild to moderate sinusoidal obstruction syndrome can be treated with supportive care alone. However, severe cases need defibrotide (thrombolytic agent) along with supportive care.[3][4]
