| Abstract: | A 46-yr-old woman with rapidly progressing primary biliary cirrhosis
presented for liver transplantation. The use of preoperative recombinant
human erythropoietin enabled this to be achieved without prohibited blood
products. Perioperative management of this patient and general principles
of management of Jehovah's Witnesses undergoing major surgery are
discussed.
