HEMOPHAGOCYTIC SYNDROME PRECIPITATING ACUTE ON CHRONIC LIVER FAILURE A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE.
Abstract
Hemophagocytic syndrome is a disconcerting
clinical dilemma characterised by
a combination of clinical and biochemical
features. Hepatologists may be consulted
early in the disease when patient
presents with abnormal liver enzymes,
coagulopathy or hepatomegaly. Furthermore,
some gastrointestinal infections,
diseases and medications may trigger
the syndrome. Herein we report a case
of hemophagocytic syndrome in a
chronic liver disease patient.
