Veno-occlusvie disease (VOD) / Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) occurs following injury to the hepatic venous endothelium, resulting in hepatic venous outflow obstruction due to occlusion of the hepatic venules and sinusoids. This typically results in a distinctive triad of clinical signs including hepatomegaly with right upper quadrant tenderness, third space fluid retention (e.g., ascites), and jaundice with a cholestatic picture. For more information on VOD / SOS including diagnostic criteria, refer to the VOD / SOS section of the Forms Instructions Manual.
