ABSTRACT
A total of 81 orthotopic liver transplantations were performed on 74 patients between January 1995 and December 1999 at the Department of Transplantation and Surgery of the Semmelweis University in Budapest. Indication for transplantation was liver cirrhosis in 57 cases, 10 patients were transplanted due to fulminant liver failure, while 7 patients underwent transplantation because of liver metastasis of different semimalignant tumours. During the above period, retrospective studies on 205 pre- and posttransplantation liver biopsies, 74 explanted livers, 7 explanted liver grafts and 22 autopsy cases were performed at the First Institute of Pathology and Experimental Cancer Research of the Semmelweis University in Budapest. A number of 116 protocol biopsies (dates as zero time, 7th day, 6th month and 12th month) and 73 non-protocol biopsies (taken due to liver allograft dysfunction) were analysed. Different gradings of acute rejection--characterised by trias of portal inflammation, venous endothelitis and bile duct damage--were detected in 62 cases. Chronic rejection occurred in 7 patients, with 4 cases of vanishing bile duct syndrome and one of the case of foam cell arteriopathy, add to 2 cases of chronic rejection characterized by undetermined bile duct damage. The present study includes the evaluation of 22 autopsy cases according to liver transplantation in Hungary, with the finding that liver allograft insufficiency was the main cause of mortality. Authors conclude that pathomorphological analysis has an important role in relation to liver transplantation.
