Core Tip |
We present a young patient, four years post-liver transplant for primary sclerosing cholangitis, who developed World Health Organization group I pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Isolated PAH following liver transplantation is an exceptionally rare condition with an unclear pathology. While we believe it should not be considered idiopathic in the absence of portal hypertension or known etiology, we suspect the prior liver disease or current transplant may contribute to its development. Early recognition and timely intervention are essential for optimizing outcomes. This case highlights the need for vigilance in managing rare post-transplant complications and underscores the importance of further research. |
