BACKGROUND/AIMS/METHODS: We report 1-year results after auxiliary liver transplantation for acute liver failure in a cohort of 47 patients transplanted in 12 European centers as compared with those of 384 consecutive patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation for acute liver failure in the Eurotransplant area. RESULTS: One-year patient survival resp. retransplant-free patient survival did not differ between orthotopic (61%, 232/384 resp. 52%, 200/384) and auxiliary liver transplantation (62%, 29/47 resp. 53%, 25/47). One-year patient survival resp. retransplant-free patient survival after auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation was 71% (25/35) resp. 60% (21/35), not significantly different from orthotopic liver transplantation (61%, 232/384 resp. 52%, 200/384), while both transplantation techniques had better 1-year patient survival resp. retransplant-free patient survival than after heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation (33%, 4/12) (p < 0.05). Primary nonfunction was more frequent after heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation (3/12, 25%) than after orthotopic liver transplantation (21/384, 5.5%), while the incidence did not differ between orthotopic liver transplantation and auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (3/35, 8.5%). Portal vein thrombosis was more frequent after both heterotopic auxiliary liver transplantation (5/12, 42%) and auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (5/35, 14%) than after orthotopic liver transplantation (2/384, 0.5%) (p < 0.001). Of the patients, 65% (17/26) surviving auxiliary liver transplantation for 1 year without retransplantation by orthotopic liver transplantation were free of immunosuppression within 1 year, compared with none of the patients transplanted by orthotopic liver transplantation (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Auxiliary liver transplantation, especially auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation, offers an advantage over orthotopic liver transplantation in acute liver failure in terms of a chance of a life free of immunosuppression, apparently without jeopardizing chances of survival. Reduction of the incidence of primary nonfunction and vascular complications should be a focus of research in auxiliary liver transplantation. These findings need to be confirmed in a prospective study. 相似文献

Acute liver failure(ALF) is a reversible disorder that is associated with an abrupt loss of hepatic mass, rapidly progressive encephalopathy and devastating complications. Despite its high mortality, an emergency liver transplantation nowadays forms an integral part in ALF management and has substantially improved the outcomes of ALF. Here, we report the case of a 32-year-old female patient who was admitted with grade Ⅳ hepatic encephalopathy(coma) following drug-induced ALF. We performed an emergency auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation with a "high risk" graft(liver macrovesicular steatosis approximately 40%) from a living donor. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 57 with normal liver function. Weaning from immunosuppression was achieved 9 mo after transplantation. A follow-up using CT scan showed a remarkable increase in native liver volume and gradual loss of the graft. More than 6 years after the transplantation, the female now has a 4-year-old child and has returned to work full-time without any neurological sequelae. 相似文献

Liver transplantation for acute liver failure. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Under conservative management, the mortality rate of acute liver failure is very high. Liver transplantation is an established life-saving therapy, offering survival rates between 60 and 90%. The decision for liver transplantation should be based on prognostic criteria, including patient's age, aetiology of liver disease, degree and onset of encephalopathy, serum bilirubin, prothrombin time or international normalized ratio (INR), serum creatinine, factor V level and arterial pH. Auxiliary liver transplantation is becoming an attractive treatment modality, allowing temporary bridging of liver function until recovery of the native liver. For children with acute liver failure, living related transplantation represents an additional option. In adult patients, living donation is not yet established since the maximum extent of liver resection safely tolerated and the amount of liver tissue necessary for sufficient graft function is still a matter of debate. 相似文献

Acute liver failure is a challenging clinical condition, associated with high morbidity and mortality. In well-selected patients, LT (LT) is the only therapeutic which has been demonstrated to improve patient survival. Clichy and King's College criteria are the two mains scoring systems used to select the patients for liver transplantation. Both models achieve high specificity but remain associated with limited negative predictive value. Several other predictive factors have been evaluated, but none of them have been strongly validated so far. Globally, whole LT appears as the procedure of choice for patients within Clichy and/or King's College criteria. Due to the severity of the disease and its multisystemic consequences, the results of LT for fulminant liver failure remain inferior to those obtained in elective indications. Accord-ing to local conditions, namely expected waiting time before urgent transplantation and surgical expertise, living donor transplantation and auxiliary transplantations appear as valuable alternatives. These techniques have the respective potential advantages to limit the waiting period before transplantation and to avoid the need for lifelong immunosuppression when native liver recovers, but overall results remain inferior to those obtained with whole LT. 相似文献

Antitubercular therapy (ATT)-induced hepatotoxicity is often over looked and active tuberculosis is considered a contraindication for liver transplantation, however it might be the only lifesaving option to certain patients of acute liver failure (ALF) due to ATT. We have assessed the outcome of live donor liver transplantation in ATT-induced ALF. A retrospective analysis of all the cases of ALF that underwent liver transplantation from 2006 to 2014 at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences was done. A total of seven (7.7%) patients with ATT-induced ALF who had underwent live donor liver transplantation were included in the study. Out of seven patients, three (42.8%) had established diagnosis of tuberculosis and the remaining (58.2%) patients were started on ATT empirically. The median duration of ATT intake was 2 months. All the patients underwent live donor liver transplant as they met King’s College criteria, and their model for end-stage liver disease score was above 35 on admission, receiving graft from first degree relatives. Histopathology of explant liver showed pan acinar necrosis. Restarting of ATT after transplant was individualized. It was restarted only in two (28%) patients with prior sputum-positive pulmonary tuberculosis after a median time of 27 days after transplant. ATT was not restarted in rest of the (72%) patients. Postoperative mortality was seen in two (28%) patients due to conditions that masquerade the ATT-induced acute liver failure. The overall survival rate was 71.4% with a median follow up of 22 months. Live donor-related transplantation is feasible option in ATT-induced acute liver failure. Restarting of ATT post liver transplant is feasible and should be individualized along with frequent monitoring of immunosuppressant levels; however, if the primary diagnosis of tuberculosis was empirical, reintroduction of ATT can be omitted. 相似文献

Orthotopic liver transplantation is employed as salvage therapy for individuals who are unable to recover from acute liver failure. Prognostic models are helpful but not entirely accurate in predicting those who will eventually require liver transplantation. There are specific criteria for United Network for Organ Sharing category 1a (urgent) listing of these patients. Unfortunately, clinical deterioration develops rapidly and many require removal from the waiting list prior to transplantation. With advances in critical care management and surgical technique, 1-year post-transplant survival rates have improved to 60 to 80%. Alternatives to conventional orthotopic liver transplantation include living donor liver transplantation, ABO-incompatible grafts, and auxiliary liver transplantation. There are many ethical and psychosocial issues inherent to transplanting these sick patients due to the urgent nature of acute liver failure. Fortunately, the long-term survival and quality of life in these transplant recipients is good. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the long-term outcome of recipients and donors of adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation(AALDLT) for acute liver failure(ALF).METHODS:Between January 2005 and March 2010,170 living donor liver transplantations were performed at West China Hospital of Sichuan University.All living liver donor was voluntary and provided informed consent.Twenty ALF patients underwent AALDLT for rapid deterioration of liver function.ALF was defined based on the criteria of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases,including evidence of coagulation abnormality [international normalized ratio(INR) ≥ 1.5] and degree of mental alteration without pre-ex-isting cirrhosis and with an illness of 26 wk duration.We reviewed the clinical indications,operative procedure and prognosis of AALDTL performed on patients with ALF and corresponding living donors.The potential factors of recipient with ALF and corresponding donor outcome were respectively investigated using multivariate analysis.Survival rates after operation were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Receiver operator characteristic(ROC) curve analysis was undertaken to identify the threshold of potential risk factors.RESULTS:The causes of ALF were hepatitis B(n = 18),drug-induced(n = 1) and indeterminate(n = 1).The score of the model for end-stage liver disease was 37.1 ± 8.6,and the waiting duration of recipients was 5 ± 4 d.The graft types included right lobe(n = 17) and dual graft(n = 3).The mean graft weight was 623.3 ± 111.3 g,which corresponded to graft-torecipient weight ratio of 0.95% ± 0.14%.The segment Ⅴor Ⅷ hepatic vein was reconstructed in 11 right-lobe grafts.The 1-year and 3-year recipient's survival and graft survival rates were 65%(13 of 20).Postoperative results of total bilirubin,INR and creatinine showed obvious improvements in the survived patients.However,the creatinine level of the deaths was increased postoperatively and became more aggravated compared with the level of the survived recipients.Multivariate analysis showed that waiting duration was independently correlated with increased mortality(P = 0.014).Furthermore,ROC curve revealed the cut-off value of waiting time was 5 d(P = 0.011,area under the curve = 0.791) for determining the mortality.The short-term creatinine level with different recipient's waiting duration was described.The recipients with waiting duration ≥ 5 d showed the worse renal function and higher mortality than those with waiting duration 5 d(66.7% vs 9.1%,P = 0.017).In addition,all donors had no residual morbidity.Furthermore,univariate analysis did not show that short assessment time induced the high morbidity(P = 0.573).CONCLUSION:Timely AALDLT for patients with ALF greatly improves the recipient survival.However,further systemic review is needed to investigate the optimal treatment strategy for ALF. 相似文献

Summary. Acute liver failure (ALF) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Before the availability of liver transplantation only 20% of patients with ALF survived. The clinical dilemma relates to the prognostication of these patients, as early liver transplantation has been associated with better outcomes. The eligibility for liver transplantation must therefore be quickly established. The patient's age, aetiology of disease, interval between the onset of jaundice and encephalopathy, blood pH, prothrombin time, serum bilirubin and serum creatinine levels has been identified as useful prognostic markers. The degree of hepatocyte necrosis on liver biopsy and estimated hepatic volume by computed tomography may also be valuable predictors of survival; however, further studies are needed. 相似文献

An ever increasing number of herbal remedies are recognized as potentially hepatotoxic. We report a case of fulminant hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation associated with the use of Ma huang, a traditional Chinese remedy containing ephedrine-type alkaloids. The literature surrounding the potential liver toxicities of Ma huang is reviewed and the proposed pathogenetic mechanisms are critically examined. 相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Progression of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major determinant of outcome in acute liver failure (ALF). Our aim was to identify predictive factors of worsening HE, including the relation of encephalopathy with the systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) and infection. METHODS: We included 227 consecutive patients with stage I-II HE prospectively enrolled in the U.S. Acute Liver Failure Study. Univariate and multivariate analysis of 27 variables at admission were performed separately for acetaminophen (n = 96) and nonacetaminophen (n = 131) etiologies. RESULTS: On multivariate analysis, acquisition of infection during stage I-II HE (P < 0.01), increased leukocyte levels at admission (P < 0.01), and decreased platelet count (P < 0.05) were predictive factors of worsening HE in the acetaminophen group. By contrast, only increased pulse rate (P < 0.05) and AST levels (P < 0.05) at admission were predictors in nonacetaminophen patients. In patients who progressed to deep HE, the first confirmed infection preceded progression in 15 of 19 acetaminophen patients compared with 12 of 23 nonacetaminophen patients. In patients who did not demonstrate positive microbiologic cultures, a higher number of components of SIRS at admission was associated with more frequent worsening of HE (25% vs. 35% vs. 50% for 0, 1, and >or=2 components of SIRS, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONA: This prospective evaluation points to infection and/or the resulting systemic inflammatory response as important factors contributing to worsening HE in ALF, mainly in patients with acetaminophen- induced ALF. The use of prophylactic antibiotics in these patients and the mechanisms by which infection triggers hepatic encephalopathy require further investigation. 相似文献
