| Core Tip |
We report a case involving a rescued low birth weight infant (LBWI) with acute liver failure. The patient was 1594 g at birth. At the age of 11 d, she developed acute liver failure due to gestational alloimmune liver disease. Medications were initiated, and body weight increased with enteral nutrition. Her liver dysfunction could not be treated by medications alone. At 55 d old with a body weight of 2946 g, she underwent living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using an S2 monosegment graft. Conclusion: LBWIs with acute liver failure may be rescued by LDLT after body weight has increased to over 2500 g. |
