A 14-year-old girl with blood type B with late onset hepatic failure (LOHF) of unknown cause has survived through living-related liver transplantation (LRLT). No hepatitis virus, including HAV, HBV, HCV, and HGV, was positive at the onset of LOHF. Autoimmune hepatitis was thought to be the cause because of positive results for serum anti-nuclear antibody at 80 times dilution and elevated gamma-globulin, but treatment with glucocorticoid did not suppress the progressive hepatic failure. Supportive therapy, including pulse therapy with 1g methylprednisolone for 3 days, ursodesoxycholic acid, branched-chain amino acid, and azathioprine did not resolve the hepatic failure. She was treated by repeated plasmapheresis and plasma absorption for 10 months, and then received the left lobe of her mother's liver. (Her mother's blood type was AB). The patient had been well, being treated with tacrolimus and prednisolone, although the serum titer of anti-blood type B antibody was high just after LRLT and mild liver dysfunction continued for more than 3 years after LRLT. Follow-up biopsy 3 years after LRLT revealed chronic hepatitis and progression to liver cirrhosis. Re-transplantation is now under consideration; the patient is now aged 19 years.
