Figure 1. Longitudinal biochemical data illustrating the patient’s progressive hepatic failure since her hospital admission (day 0). Transplantation occurred at day 24 with subsequent post-transplant biochemical data illustrated thereafter by gray shading. (A) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT, blue) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST, red) parameters showing initial significant transaminitis with progressive normalization post-liver transplantation. Hepatic failure was further illustrated by progressive (B) hyperbilirubinemia (red), thrombocytopenia (blue), (C) hypoalbuminemia, and (D) coagulopathy (international normalized ratio [INR]). Post-transplantation, all parameters normalized.
