Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is characterized by deposition of mutated transthyretin (TTR) in the peripheral nervous system. Prior to amyloid fibrils, nonfibrillar TTR aggregates are deposited inducing oxidative stress with increased nitration (3-NT). As the major source of TTR is the liver, liver transplantation (LT) is used to halt FAP. Given the shortage of liver donors, domino LT (DLT) using FAP li...

BACKGROUND: Circulatory instability frequently complicates liver transplantation for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) and may be a source of surgical morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate FAP intraoperative haemodynamic data and their relation to the duration of surgery, and need for anaesthetic drugs. RBC and sympathomimetic amines. SETTING: Clinical study during a four year period. PATIENTS...
