“…In such cases, LDLT can result in recovery if the body weight of the infant can be increased by nutritional management[ 5 ]. However, few reports have discussed LDLT for neonatal recipients with low body weights[ 6 ]. Herein, we report a case involving a rescued LBWI with acute liver failure and discuss the limitation of body weight as an indicator for neonatal LDLT.…”

We report a case involving a rescued low birth weight infant (LBWI) with acute liver failure. Case: The patient was 1594 g and 323/7 gestational wk at birth. At the age of 11 d, she developed acute liver failure due to gestational alloimmune liver disease. Exchange transfusion and high-dose gamma globulin therapy were initiated, and body weight increased with enteral nutrition. Exchange transfusion was performed a total of 33 times prior to living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Her liver dysfunction could not be treated by medications alone. At 55 d old and a body weight of 2946 g, she underwent LDLT using an S2 monosegment graft from her mother. Three years have passed with no reports of intellectual disability or liver dysfunction. LBWIs with acute liver failure may be rescued by LDLT after body weight has increased to over 2500 g.
