Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)–based approaches are increasingly investigated strategies to induce tolerance in recipients of solid allografts. However, in the majority of cases, these approaches rely on the infusion of hematopoietic stem cells recovered from the same solid organ donor. In this report, we describe the case of a boy who received liver transplantation from a deceased donor, who had successfully underwent allogeneic HSCT from an unrelated donor for hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia. In this patient, it was possible to permanently withdraw post-HSCT immune suppression without causing any sign of liver graft dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of operational tolerance documented in a patient who received combined liver transplantation and HSCT from different donors.

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)–based approaches are increasingly investigated strategies to induce tolerance in recipients of solid allografts. However, in the majority of cases, these approaches rely on the infusion of hematopoietic stem cells recovered from the same solid organ donor. In this report, we describe the case of a boy who received liver transplantation from a deceased donor, who had successfully underwent allogeneic HSCT from an unrelated donor for hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia. In this patient, it was possible to permanently withdraw post-HSCT immune suppression without causing any sign of liver graft dysfunction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of operational tolerance documented in a patient who received combined liver transplantation and HSCT from different donors.
