A case of hepatic graft-versus-host disease complicating autologous stem cell transplantation for relapsed Hodgkin's disease.

摘要

A case of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) affecting the liver complicating an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant for relapsed Hodgkin's disease is described. A brief discussion of the presentation, management and pathology of the condition is included and the importance of including this condition in the differential diagnosis of post transplantation hepatic dysfunction, with consideration of liver biopsy, is emphasized.
