摘要
A 63 year old woman with liver failure received a transplant from a 21 year old male diagnosed as brain dead following a motor accident. After the operation, bile production was virtually absent and aspartate transaminase (AST) values rose dramatically 40 h postoperatively. Primary non-function of the graft was diagnosed, and the patient put on an urgent list for retransplantation. At the same time a continuous intravenous infusion of PGE1 was administered. Aspartate transaminase levels decreased within 9 h and reached normal levels by the sixth postoperative day, when bile production began to increase. Liver function subsequently returned to normal.
