Solid-Organ Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Liver Transplant: A Case Report

Abstract: Solid-organ transplant graft-versus-host disease (SOT-GVHD) is a rare complication of organ transplant that is associated with high mortality. The initial signs and symptoms are vague, so this disease is easily confused with other posttransplant complications. A case of SOT-GVHD occurred after orthotopic liver transplant for liver failure due to hepatitis C in a patient in a Veterans Affairs intensive care unit. The patient had dehydration, acute kidney injuries, rashes, diarrhea, and pancytopenia. Results of … Show more

“…In isolation, biopsy findings are nonspecific, but the presence of apoptotic bodies and a vacuolar interface dermatitis may favour GVHD. 2,3 Chimerism is confirmed with fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (in case of mismatched sex transplants) of tissue to detect donor lymphocytes, polymerase chain reaction-enabled human leukocyte antigen detection of donor lymphocytes in peripheral blood, as well as polymerase chain reaction-enabled short tandem repeat detection of donor lymphocytes in peripheral blood and tissue biopsy. 6 Donor lymphoid chimerism greater than 20% one-week post-transplant is specific for GVHD, although this value can be lower.…”

“…Диагностика РТПХ основана на гистологическом исследовании пораженной ткани. Чаще всего диагноз ставится на основе материала из ЖКТ [20] или биопсии кожи [13,15]. Для дифференциального диагноза между различными дерматологическими заболеваниями могут быть использованы иммуногистохимические методы [21].…”

“…Наиболее частая практика в лечении РТПХприменение высоких доз глюкокортикостероидов (ГКС) (2-10 мг/кг) в качестве первой линии терапии. Этот подход эффективен у пациентов с РТПХ после трансплантации костного мозга [22], но обычно не приводит к успеху при лечении реципиентов печени [13]. Описаны попытки применения препаратов для индукции иммуносупрессии, направленных против Т-лимфоцитов.…”
