Severe thrombocytopenia before liver transplantation is associated with delayed recovery of thrombocytopenia regardless of donor type

         

摘要

AIM: To compare the recovery of thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly during long-term follow-up after liver transplantation in patients receiving a living donor transplant or a cadaveric donor transplant. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 216 consecutive liver transplant patients who survived for > 6 mo after transplantation; 169 received a liver transplant from a living donor and 47 from a cadaveric donor. The platelet counts or spleen volumes were examined before transplant, 1, 6, and 12 mo after transplant, and then annually until 5 years after transplant. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 49 mo (range, 21-66). Platelet counts increased continu-ously for 5 years after orthotopic liver transplant. The restoration of platelet counts after transplant was sig-nificantly slower in patients with severe pretransplant thrombocytopenia (< 50 000/μL) until 4 years after transplant (P = 0.005). Donor type did not significantly affect the recovery of platelet count and spleen vol-ume in either patient group. In multivariate analysis, pretransplant severe thrombocytopenia (< 50 000/μL) was an independent factor associated with sustained thrombocytopenia (P < 0.001, odds ratio 6.314; con-fidence interval, 2.828-14.095). Thrombocytopenia re-appeared after transplant in seven patients with portal flow disturbance near the anastomosis site. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that severe throm-bocytopenia before transplant is closely associated with delayed recovery of platelet count after transplant and donor type did not affect the recovery of throm-bocytopenia. The reappearance of thrombocytopenia after transplant should be considered a possible indica-tor of flow disturbance in the portal vein.
