Summary
We describe a case of a 49 years old female patient with acute liver failure caused by halothan induced hepatitis. The liver failure was so severe that she was indicated for liver transplantation. The successful outcome of liver transplantation was facilitated also by supportive treatment with fractionated plasma separation and adsorption (FPSA) on Prometheus® device.
Key words:
halothan hepatitis – liver transplantation – Prometheus
