TI  - Acute graft versus host disease following liver transplantation: the enemy 
      within.
PG  - 466-74
AB  - This article reviews acute graft vs. host disease (GVHD) as a complication of 
      orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The incidence, presentation, clinical 
      course and outcome of GVHD after OLT are summarized and the pathogenesis is 
      discussed, drawing parallels with GVHD after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell 
      transplantation. Risk factors for GVHD after OLT are examined and the potential 
      role of donor lymphocyte macrochimerism in the recipient peripheral blood as a 
      diagnostic aid for GVHD is discussed. Finally, treatment of GVHD after OLT is 
      reviewed with particular emphasis on the potential role of some of the newer 
      biological agents.
