Overview
- In 1884, Flückiger was the first to report the association between liver dysfunction and the development of hypoxemia. (Flückiger M. Vorkommen von trommelschlagel-formigen fingerendphalangen ohne chronische veranderungeng an den lungen oder am herzen. Wien Med Wochenschr. 1884;34:1457.) The term "hepatopulmonary syndrome" was first suggested by Kennedy and Knudson almost 100 years later,in 1977 during describing a patient with the classic findings of hepatopulmonary syndrome.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1884, Flückiger was the first to report the association between liver dysfunction and the development of hypoxemia. (Flückiger M. Vorkommen von trommelschlagel-formigen fingerendphalangen ohne chronische veranderungeng an den lungen oder am herzen. Wien Med Wochenschr. 1884;34:1457.)
- The term "hepatopulmonary syndrome" was first suggested by Kennedy and Knudson almost 100 years later,in 1977 during describing a patient with the classic findings of hepatopulmonary syndrome.[1]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- Currently the only definitive treatment is liver transplantation. Alternative treatments such as supplemental oxygen or somatostatin to inhibit vasodilation remains anecdotal.
- Here are the landmarks of liver transplantation pathway.
- In the 1960s, Thomas Starzl used dogs as the first animals for research on liver transplantation in Boston and Chicago.
- In 1963, the first liver transplant in humans was attempted by a surgical team led by Dr. Thomas Starzl of Denver, Colorado, United States.
- Dr. Starzl performed many additional transplants until he was successful in 1967 with the first one-year survival post-transplantation.
- In 1970, the regimen for immunosuppressive therapy following transplant was introduced, but azathioprine and steroids did not improve survival rates of patients.
- In the 1980s, with the introduction of cyclosporine by Sir Roy Calne, there was an improvement in rejection rates.
- In 1983, liver transplantation was no longer an experimental modality, but a clinically accepted form of therapy for both adult and pediatric patients with appropriate indications.
- In 1986, the introduction of monoclonal antibodies such as muromonab-CD3 [OKT3] further contributed to improvement of quality of immunosuppressive therapy used in patients, with significant decline in rejection rates.
- In 1988, University of Wisconsin (UW) solution was developed, which ensured a smooth surgery and longer preservation period.
- In 1992, the concept of xenotransplantation and cloning techniques were introduced by Starzl.
- In 1999, approximately 5000 procedures were carried out, in contrast to 100 which had been performed a decade earlier.
- Recently, the introduction of newer immunosuppressive agents such as IL-2 receptor blockers and tacrolimus, have drastically increased patient survival ratesto 1 and 5-year rates of approximately 85 and 70 percent respectively.
- In December 2016, 147,128 liver transplants were performed in the US as compared to 7217 in 1998 based on data from the United Organ Sharing (UNOS) network.
