โœฆ Synopsis

rthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the treat-0 ment of choice in selected patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). The results of OLT for FHF, though inferior to those for chronic liver disease, have shown significant improvement over recent years, with a majority of patients making a full

In this article we will discuss various aspects of the management of FHF relating to liver transplantation, as practiced at the Liver Unit, Birmingham as well as at other leading European liver transplant centers.

The role of liver transplantation in 29 patients with fulminant and subacute hepatic failure due to a variety of different causes was examined by comparing the outcome and a variety of "hospitalization" variables. Transplanted patients (n = 13) were more likely to survive (p < 0.05), were younger (p

Studies of acute liver failure from drugs have included cases mostly attributed to acetaminophen (APAP) but have reported limited data on other drugs. We used the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) liver transplant database from 1990 to 2002 to identify recipients and estimate a U.S. population

A critical element restricting the application of liver transplantation is the shortage of human deceased donor organs. Xenotransplantation using pig organs might be a solution to this shortage. Although the problems that still require resolution include the immunologic barrier, the potential risk o

For acute liver failure (ALF), living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may reduce waiting time and provide better timing compared to deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). However, there are concerns that a partial graft would result in reduced survival of critically ill LDLT recipients and
