Hyperacute rejection in liver transplantation: CT findings

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1994 Jan-Feb;18(1):139-42. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199401000-00030.

Abstract

Hyperacute rejection is rare after liver transplantation. We report a case of early graft failure following liver transplantation in a 46-year-old woman. On the 5th postoperative day, progressive loss of graft function occurred. Liver histology showed submassive hepatic necrosis. Computed tomography features showing large geographic areas of necrosis without anatomic distribution were suggestive of hyperacute rejection.
