Drug-induced acute liver failure (ALF) is associated with high mortality. There is limited literature on results of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
The study was conducted at a tertiary care center in North India. All patients who received LDLT for drug-induced ALF were included. The data are shown as median (IQR).
A total of 18 patients (15 females and three males), aged 34 (25-45) years, underwent LDLT for drug-induced liver injury (DILI)-related ALF. Etiology of ALF was antitubercular medications (n=14), orlistat (n=1), flutamide (n=1), and complementary alternative medications (n=2). The baseline parameters were as following: bilirubin 17.7 (16.3-23.8) mg/dL, INR 3.3 (2.5-4.0), jaundice encephalopathy interval 6 (3-17.5) days, arterial ammonia 109 μmol/L (73-215), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) 24 (18-33), grade of encephalopathy 2 (1-4), which progressed to grade 3 (3-4) before transplantation. All patients underwent right lobe LDLT; hospital stay was 17 (13-22) days, and ICU stay was 5 (5-7) days. Two patients died in the first month after liver transplantation due to sepsis and multi-organ failure; the rest of the patients are alive and doing well at a follow-up of 50 (4-82 months).
Good outcomes can be obtained by LDLT for drug-induced ALF.
药物性急性肝衰竭(ALF)死亡率高。关于活体肝移植(LDLT)结果的文献有限。
本研究在印度北部的一家三级医疗中心进行。纳入所有因药物性ALF接受LDLT的患者。数据以中位数(四分位间距)表示。
共有18例患者(15例女性,3例男性),年龄34(25 - 45)岁,因药物性肝损伤(DILI)相关的ALF接受了LDLT。ALF的病因包括抗结核药物(n = 14)、奥利司他(n = 1)、氟他胺(n = 1)和补充替代药物(n = 2)。基线参数如下:胆红素17.7(16.3 - 23.8)mg/dL,国际标准化比值(INR)3.3(2.5 - 4.0),黄疸至肝性脑病间隔时间6(3 - 17.5)天,动脉血氨109 μmol/L(范围73 - 215),终末期肝病模型(MELD)评分24(18 - 33),肝性脑病分级2(1 - 4),移植前进展至3级(3 - 4)。所有患者均接受了右半肝LDLT;住院时间为17(13 - 22)天,重症监护病房(ICU)停留时间为5(5 - 7)天。2例患者在肝移植后第一个月因败血症和多器官功能衰竭死亡;其余患者在50(4 - 82)个月的随访中存活且情况良好。
药物性ALF行LDLT可取得良好疗效。
