Abstract:
Acute liver failure is a rare but life-threatening medical emergency. Despite advancements in medical management, mortality rates of acute liver failure remain high. Currently, liver transplant is the only definitive therapeutic option available. High-volume plasma exchange has been shown to increase transplant-free survival in patients with acute liver failure before liver transplant. However, the occurrence of infectious complications in patients who receive this treatment has not been well studied. We report 2 cases of severe opportunistic infections occurring within 30 days of transplant in patients who underwent high-volume plasma exchange before liver transplant.
