Abstract:
INDUCTION:Liver transplantation (LT) is the only final therapy for patients with acute liver failure (ALF) that cannot be controlled by conservative treatment. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a recognized complication of ALF. The pathogenesis of AP in ALF patients has not yet been elucidated. The appearance of AP complicates the patients condition and causes a significantly increased risk of mortality. PATIENT CONCERNS:We report 2 fatal cases who were both admitted with yellowing of skin and sclera with general weakness lasting for 2 weeks. DIAGNOSIS:After admission, the laboratory examination of case 1 showed liver dysfunction with serum levels of total bilirubin (TB) 270 μmol/l, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 106 U/l. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed pelvic and peritoneal cavity fluids, occupation of left lateral lobe of liver and unclear margin of pancreas. The clinical laboratory findings of case 2 revealed TB 351.1 μmol/l, ALT 252 U/l, blood lactic acid 18 mmol/l, ammonia 209 μmol/l. And abdominal CT showed pancreatic exudation. They were both diagnosed with acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy and AP which was confirmed during the operation. INTERVENTIONS:They were both received a routine orthotopic LT. OUTCOMES:After the surgery, their liver functions recovered well, and they received conventional conservative treatment for pancreatitis. However, the treatment was not adequately effective, and the infection was too serious and both died of multiple organ failure despite emergency rescue efforts on day 21 and day 19 after LT. CONCLUSION:AP is a serious complication that can contribute to prohibitive morbidity and mortality in LT patients. For this reason, the vulnerable state of the pancreas and the scoring system must be defined to help clinicians decide whether a patient is suitable for liver transplantation, and the clinical experience in the treatment of pancreatitis after LT needs to be summarized as an optimal treatment guideline to facilitate better treatment.
