Hepatic Atrophy

We report cases of three patients of refractory ascites without other fluid retention that occurred around five months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo- HSCT). All three patients expired and postmortem examinations revealed unexpected liver fibrosis lacking histological evidences of graft-<em>versus</em>-host-disease (GVHD). The three patients showed normal hepatic function and size before transplantation. During their clinical courses, serum biochemistry test showed no elevation of hepatic enzymes and bilirubin; however, imaging studies demonstrated hepatic atrophy at the onset of ascites. One of the liver specimens showed bile obstruction, which could be seen in hepatic damage by GVHD. Although ascites resulting from venoocclusive disease in early phase allo-HSCT is well documented, ascites associated with hepatic fibrosis in late phase allo-HCST has not been reported. Further clinico-pathological studies on similar patients should be required to ascertain refractory ascites associated with liver fibrosis after allo-HSCT.
