Iterative antibody-induced bile salt export pump deficiency after successive liver transplantations successfully treated with plasmapheresis and rituximab - 31/05/23
Abstract |
Post-transplantation evolution of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 patients can be complicated by antibody-induced bile salt export pump deficiency (AIBD). There is no consensus on its management. We describe a patient who presented two episodes, 9 years apart. The first episode was refractory to plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) started 2 months after AIBD onset, leading to graft loss. The second episode responded to plasmapheresis, IVIG and rituximab initiated less than 2 weeks after the beginning of symptoms, allowing for long-term recovery. This case suggests that intensive treatment with minimum delay after symptoms onset could sponsor a better evolution.
