Decompensated liver disease due to primary hepatic amyloidosis: Is liver transplantation still mandatory?

Abstract

Primary hepatic amyloidosis (PHA) is extremely uncommon and usually associated with poor prognosis due to the development of decompensation. Therapy for this condition is liver transplantation (LT) and subsequent stem cell transplantation (SCT)(1). Nonetheless, because the liver disease can progress rapidly and liver donation is limited, patients may die before transplantation.
