Abstract

We present the case of a 61-year-old man with severe haemophilia A and a high-titre factor VIII inhibitor who underwent successful orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma. Postoperatively, a modest early anamnestic response to FVIII was followed by immunological tolerance to FVIII. This case illustrates the technical feasibility of OLT in some patients with high-titre inhibitors to FVIII, and suggests that immune tolerance may be induced by endogenously produced FVIII from the transplanted organ.
