Amey Sonavane1, Sanjiv Saigal2.   

Abstract

Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) after orthotopic liver transplant (OLT), although rare, carries >80% mortality. Early diagnosis, prompt treatment, and aggressive supportive care are imperative to potentially reverse this otherwise fatal ailment. We describe a case of severe diarrhoea post living donor OLT who was diagnosed with acute GVHD. Addition of oral budesonide therapy to systemic corticosteroid therapy controlled the symptoms of diarrhoea.
