Abstract:
Refractory ascites post-liver transplantation can be a challenging problem. Causes of refractory ascites include venous outflow anastomotic stenosis, vessel kinking by the regenerating liver, pre-existing graft disease, and positional outflow obstruction. We present a case report of a child presenting with high drain output and refractory ascites post-LDLT secondary to a positional kinking. Repeating the Doppler studies with patients both supine and sitting may be helpful.
