Journal Article
Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Presenting As An Acute Hepatitis
2001
Overview
A variety of illnesses involving the gut and liver follow hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). A 20 yr-old white male developed severe acute hepatitis 36 wk (day 252) after matched, unrelated, allogeneic HCT for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Mild skin graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) had occurred at about 20 wk (day 140) after transplant. Liver biopsy showed bile duct injury and a diffuse lobular injury pattern most consistent with a GVHD variant and not reminiscent of drug-induced or viral hepatitis. No findings suggestive of herpesvirus, adenovirus, or varicella-zoster virus were found. High-dose steroids resulted in marked improvement of his liver enzyme levels. We report this patient as representing the acute hepatitic presentation of chronic GVHD of the liver.
