Thrombotic microangiopathy-like disorder after living-donor liver transplantation: A single-center experience in Japan

Figure 1 Outcomes of thrombotic microangiopathy like disorder after living-donor liver transplantation. A: The seven thrombotic microangiopathy like disorder (TMALD) patients clearly showed a poor prognosis compared with the other 199 patients (P < 0.0001). TMALD after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) therefore had a negative impact upon the LDLT outcomes. A total of 206 LDLT recipients at Kyoto University Hospital (from April 2006 to March 2009) were evaluated; B: The thrombotic microangiopathy patients showed a poor prognosis despite intensive treatments after the diagnosis of TMALD. The open circles represent two recipients who were successfully treated, and the closed circles represent five recipients who finally died.
