Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy complicating liver transplantation
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 07:00 authored by Bruce TaylorBruce Taylor, Wijdicks, EF, Poterucha, JJ, Weisner, RHWe report on a patient who had chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy following liver transplantation for hepatitis B-induced fulminate hepatic failure. Possible symptomatic recurrence of hepatitis B in the graft prompted a reduction in the cyclosporine dosage, which may have triggered the immune response leading to demyelination. Initial plasma exchange and then intravenous immune globulin after relapse led to marked clinical improvement.
