ABSTRACT

Background:

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) usually occurs by 8 weeks after liver transplantation (LT) usually is an uncommon complication but has both high mortality and major diagnostic challenge in addition most of them are associated with resistance to steroid therapy.

Objective:

Discuss the pathogenesis, treatment and long-term results of Acute Graft versus Host Disease after Liver Transplantation.

Methods:

A PubMed search was performed to identify all reported cases of GVHD following LT. The medical subject heading GVHD disease was used in combination with LT, including adults (19 + years) and children. The bibliographies of the articles found though PubMed were then searched for further reports of GVHD.

Results:

We reviewed 102 cases of acute GVHD, 96 (94.1%) adults and 6 (5.8%) children. After treatment 24 (25%) adults and 3 (50%) children were alive only. As faras the treatment of GVHD is concern the therapy used in adults and in children patients was respectively anti-thymocyte globulin + prednisolone – 19 (19.5%); interleukin-2 receptor blocker – 17 (17.5%); OKT3 – 12 (12.3%); cyclosporine – 9 (9,2% ); others – 39 (40.2%) and in children anti-thymocyte globulin – 1 (20%);anti-thymocyte globulin + prednisolone – 1 (20%); prednisolone – 1 (20%); anti-thymocyte globulin + prednisolone + interleukin-2 receptor blocker-1 (20%); not mentioned – 1.There was no standard treatment of acute GVHD for both children and adults.

Conclusion:

Although acute GVHD following LT is rare complication and mortality is still very high, there is no consensus for the treatment ofsteroid-refractory forms. Further researches are needed to providenew approach for treating effectively such condition.
RESUMO

Introdução:

A forma aguda da doença do enxerto contra o hospedeiro ocorre geralmente até oito semanas após o transplante de fígado, é rara, porém tem mortalidade alta e constitui-se emum grande desafio terapêutico principalmente naqueles casos quesão resistentes ao tratamento com corticóides.

Objetivo:

Discutir a patogênese, tratamento e resultados a longo prazo da Forma Aguda da Doença Enxerto contra o Hospedeiro após Transplante de Fígado.

Métodos:

Fizemos uma pesquisa na base de dados do PubMed procurando identificar todos os casos de doença Enxerto contra o Hospedeiro após Transplante de Fígado incluindo adultos com mais de 19 anos e crianças.

Resultados:

Revisamos 102 casos desta doença e encontramos 96 (94,1%) adultos e 6 (5,8%) crianças. Após o tratamento, 24 (25%) adultos e 3 (50%) crianças estavam vivos. Com relação ao tratamento da doença do enxerto contra o hospedeiro em adultos e crianças encontramos respectivamente globulina anti-timocítica + prednisolona – 19 (19,5%); bloqueador do receptor da interleucina 2 – 17 (17,5%); OKT3 – 12 (12,3%); ciclosporina – 9 (9,2%); outros – 39 (40,2%) e em crianças globulina anti-timocítica – 1 (20%); globulina antitimocítica + prednisolona – 1 (20%); prednisolona – 1 (20%); globulina anti-timocítica + prednisolona + bloqueador do receptor da interleucina 2 -1 (20%); não mencionado – 1.

Conclusão:

Pesquisas devem ser aprofundadas nos mecanismos que desencadeiam esta patologia. Não existe consenso para o tratamento da doença do enxerto contra o hospedeiro após o transplante de fígado naqueles doentes que são refratários ao uso de esteróides.
