Korean red ginseng: a new approach for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease after liver transplantation.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a rare complication after liver transplantation with an extremely poor prognosis; its occurrence offers great challenges. METHODS:We have reported herein one case of acute GVHD after liver transplantation who was treated with a traditional Chinese medicine named Korean Red Ginseng (KRG). RESULTS:The acute GVHD was successfully cured by KRG. CONCLUSIONS:The successful salvage of acute GVHD after liver transplantation by KRG may provide a new viable therapeutic option.
