Liver transplantation for fulminant hepatic failure: importance of renal failure

Abstract One hundred eighty-one consecutive patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) presenting in a 2-year period were reviewed. In this cohort we examined the impact of pretransplant renal failure on mortality and morbidity following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx). Twenty-seven patients (18 female, 9 male) with a median age of 43.5 years (range 19–65 years) underwent OLTx. FHF was due to idiosyncratic drug reaction ( n = 4), paracetamol overdose ( n = 3), seronegative hepatitis ( n = 17), hepatitis B ( n = 1), veno-occlusive disease ( n = 1), and Wilson's disease ( n = 1). Renal failure was present in 14 patients, 7 of whom died (whereas there was 100 % survival in patients without renal failure). Pretransplant renal failure was associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation (13 days vs 6 days, P = 0.05), prolonged intensive care stay (17 days vs 8 days, P - 0.01) and prolonged hospital stay (27 vs 21 days, P = NS). Pretransplant renal failure did not predict renal dysfunction at 1 year after OLTx. We conclude that the survival of patients transplanted for FHF is inferior to that of patients transplanted for chronic liver disease (67 % vs 88 % 1-year survival in Birmingham). For patients with FHF undergoing transplantation, pretransplant renal failure strongly predicts poor outcome with significantly greater consumption of resources.

Fat-Derived Hormone Adiponectin Combined with FTY720 Significantly Improves Small-for-Size Fatty Liver Graft Survival

Owing to the discrepancy between organ donation and the demand for liver transplantation, expanding the liver donor pool is of vital importance. However, marginal liver grafts, such as small-for-size and/or fatty grafts, were associated with primary graft nonfunction or poor function. Therefore, novel combination therapies to rescue small-for-size fatty liver grafts should be investigated. In this study, we applied a combination therapy using a fat-derived hormone adiponectin (anti-steatosis) plus immunomodulator FTY720 (anti-inflammatory) in a rat liver transplantation model using small-for-size fatty liver grafts, and investigated the underlying protective mechanism such as anti-steatosis, intra-graft energy metabolism, hepatic microcirculatory changes, cell signaling cascades for survival, apoptosis and inflammation. The current study demonstrated that even a single treatment of adiponectin or FTY720 improved the 7-day graft survival from 0% to 62.5% (p = 0.001). The combination therapy significantly increased the 7-day graft survival rate to 100% by remarkable attenuation of graft steatosis and acute phase inflammatory response, significant activation of cell survival Akt pathway and maintenance of intra-graft adenosine triphosphate metabolism and improvement of hepatic microcirculation. In conclusion, the fat-derived hormone adiponectin combined with FTY720 might be a novel combination drug therapy for prevention of small-for-size fatty liver graft injury.

Liver regeneration in acute severe liver impairment: a clinicopathological correlation study.

BACKGROUND: Although normally quiescent, the adult mammalian liver possesses a great capacity to regenerate after different types of injury. Major players in the regeneration process are mature residual cells, including hepatocytes, cholangiocytes and stromal cells. However, if the regenerative capacity of mature cells is impaired, hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) are activated and expand into the liver parenchyma. Upon transit amplification, the progenitor cells generate new hepatocytes and biliary cells to restore liver homeostasis. AIMS/METHODS: To study the relationship between different histopathological parameters as well as their correlations with clinical parameters and outcome, we examined liver specimens from 74 patients with acute or subacute severe liver impairment by immunohistochemistry for CK7/CK19 (evaluation of HPCs activation/differentiation), Mib1(Ki 67)/P21 (evaluation of proliferative activity/proliferation arrest of hepatocytes) and hematoxylin and eosin (evaluation of hepatocyte loss). RESULTS: Of the 74 patients, 32% survived without transplantation, 14% died without transplantation and 54% were transplanted. Our results show that a threshold of 50% loss of hepatocytes, associated with significant decrease in the proliferative activity of remaining mature hepatocytes, is needed for extensive hepatic progenitor cell activation. Such activation is a sign of disease severity and occurs early (within 1 week) in the disease course. However, development of intermediate hepatocytes, suggesting HPCs differentiation towards mature hepatocytes, takes at least 1 week's time. We found a positive correlation between histopathological parameters (percentage hepatocyte loss, number of proliferating hepatocytes and number of HPCs) and clinical parameters of liver impairment such as model for end stage liver diseases (MELD). Surviving patients compared with those who either died or were transplanted had significantly less hepatocyte loss, less HPCs activation and more mature hepatocyte proliferative activity. Hepatocyte proliferative activity and degree of hepatocyte loss were the most important independent histopathological parameters in predicting outcome. CONCLUSION: Liver biopsy can provide important additional information in a patient with severe acute liver impairment.
