Abstract

A 3-year-old female had fulminant hepatic and renal failure due to massive iron ingestion, despite gastric lavage, deferoxamine administration, hemodialysis and continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration. She underwent a successful emergency liver transplantation on 5th day after ingestion and was discharged 25 days later with excellent liver and renal function.
