| Core Tip |
This work systematically reviews liver disease in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), proposes contraindications for liver-transplantation in such patients, and reports an illustrative case. A 47-year-old-man was hospitalized with high-grade pyrexia, total-bilirubin = 45 g/dL, and profound neutropenia. Bone marrow biopsy/aspirate revealed hemophagocytic histiocytes. The patient had HLH, satisfying 6 Histiocytic Society criteria. Liver-biopsy histopathology revealed relatively well-preserved hepatic parenchyma, except for sparse hepatocytic necrosis. The patient was not a liver-transplant-candidate, despite model for end stage liver disease-score = 33, due to multi-organ failure from HLH. He expired from multi-organ failure despite receiving corticosteroids. This case and systematic review reveals patients with HLH may not be liver transplant candidates because of liver failure from multisystem failure. |
