dc.description.abstract | Liver transplant (LT) is the standard therapy for medically refractory acute liver failure (ALF). Finding a deceaseddonor graft in an emergency is challenging and often overcome by living-donation. Blood group matching is practised for LT though ABO-incompatible liver transplant (ABOi-LT) is performed inselected circumstances. We report an infant who underwent successful ABOincompatible living donor LT for ALF of unknown aetiology. This being the country’s first ABOi-LT, the youngest LT recipient to date and the youngest receiving emergency LT for ALF; we describe the novel experience at a resource-limited setting in Sri Lanka (SL). | en_US |
