Exertional Heat Stroke-Induced Acute Liver Failure and Liver Transplantation

Exertional heat stroke is a medical emergency characterized by excessive heat production and inadequate heat dissipation usually after heavy exertion in hot and humid climates and can be associated with multiorgan failure. Treatment is largely supportive, but liver transplantation (LT) may be necess...

description Exertional heat stroke is a medical emergency characterized by excessive heat production and inadequate heat dissipation usually after heavy exertion in hot and humid climates and can be associated with multiorgan failure. Treatment is largely supportive, but liver transplantation (LT) may be necessary in select patients. Here, we report the case of a 44-year-old runner who was found unconscious after a 5-mile run and developed acute liver failure. He underwent successful LT 1 week later when he developed encephalopathy. This case report illustrates the importance of early LT referral in patients with exertional heat stroke-induced acute liver failure.
