Extensive Inferior Vena Cava Thrombosis in a Liver Transplant Patient: A Case Report.

Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava is a clinical condition with very diverse presentations, ranging from asymptomatic patients to others with severe edema in the legs and lower torso. We report the case of a 27-year-old female patient, previously diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, with asymptomatic extensive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. The thrombus extended from the renal veins up to the emergence of the hepatic veins, causing post-sinusoidal portal hypertension (Budd-Chiari syndrome).

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis caused by hepatitis C virus in a liver transplant recipient: A case report.

Background: Infection by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is currently considered to be a global health issue, with a high worldwide prevalence and causing chronic disease in afflicted individuals. The disease largely involves the liver but it can affect other organs, including the skin. While leukocytoclastic vasculitis has been reported as one of the dermatologic manifestations of HCV infection, there are no reports of this condition as the first symptom of HCV recurrence after liver transplantation.
