Liver Dysfunction in Adult Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis : A Narrative Review
© 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Healthcare Ltd., part of Springer Nature..
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening condition that has been increasingly recognized in adults and is characterized by a hyperinflammatory state due to immune dysregulation. Its nonspecific presentation, the lack of clinician familiarity given its rarity, and shared clinical features with sepsis and other syndromes can lead to a delay in diagnosis and a poor prognosis. Significant liver function abnormalities as the initial manifestation of HLH are uncommon and can range from mild elevation of aminotransferases to fulminant hepatic failure with high mortality rates. The authors encountered a case of adult HLH mimicking acute viral hepatitis in which a markedly elevated ferritin level led to a prompt diagnosis, early initiation of treatment, and a successful outcome. Clinicians, including gastroenterologists and hepatologists, are often called upon to evaluate patients with abnormal liver tests and may lack experience in the early diagnosis and management of liver dysfunction in the context of HLH. Thus, we expand our reporting to a narrative review of literature which explores the pathogenesis of HLH, challenges associated with its diagnosis, previous reports of liver disease associated with the syndrome, recommended treatments for the familial and adult variations including the role of liver transplantation, and the outcomes of these treatments.
