Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have ascites with Budd chiary syndrome.
By this syndrome portal hypertension can occurs.And because of that ascites can occur.
Take low salt diet for ascites.
You can take diuretic like furosemide for ascites.
If still not decreased then therapeutic paracentesis may be needed....

If history of hepatitis b or c then cirrhosis ruled out.Complete LFT profile done...
Meanwhile estimate your serum protein also.
As by hypoalbumenemia decrease oncotic pressure can lead edema.
Also do your renal function test to rule out kidney problem...
If you have hypertension and other positive cardiac history then heart failure can lead to edema....

Hope my suggestion will help you.
Take care.
