RESUMO

CONTEXT: Liver transplantation has been accepted as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure. Currently, Brazil has a well-established public organ transplant program, performing 7,425 solid organs transplants in 2012 alone, among which 1,595 were liver transplants. Jehovah's Witnesses report 7,6 million members worldwide. For religious reasons they refuse transfusion of whole blood or its primary components (red cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelets). OBJECTIVE: This study aims to present the results obtained with Jehovah's Witnesses patients by a liver transplantation service. METHOD: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records from Jehovah's Witnesses patients (n=4) who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from September 2009 to September 2011 at the Walter Cantídio University Hospital of the Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. Coagulation parameters such as Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, INR were evaluated during the preoperative, immediate postoperative, postoperative day (POD) 7 and POD 30. RESULTS: Coagulation parameters were expressed as means: hematocrit, 35.07%±6.65%, 24.6%±4.74%, 19.85%±2.10%, 31.85%±5.99%; hemoglobin, 12.57 g/dL±2.22, 8.92 g/dL±1.75, 6.92 g/dL±0.58, 11.17 g/dL±0.9; platelets, 160,975 mm3±148000, 128,000 mm3±34836, 65,000 mm3±33496, 234,250 mm3±287003 and INR, 143±0.10, 2.4±0.34, 1.24±0.10, 1.14±0.09. CONCLUSION: Liver transplantation can successfully be performed in Jehovah's Witnesses patient population provided that: 1) the medical team has extensive expertise in that field, 2) the patient has an adequate level of hematologic factors preoperatively, and 3) there is availability of specialized equipment such as cell saver to minimize blood loss and thus avoid transfusion requirements.

Contexto O transplante hepático tem sido aceito como opção terapêutica para a doença hepática terminal e falência hepática aguda. Atualmente, o Brasil dispõe de um programa bem estabelecido de transplantes de órgãos, oferecido a toda população, realizando 7.425 transplantes de órgãos sólidos apenas em 2012, destes, 1.595 foram transplantes de fígado. Os membros da crença testemunhas de Jeová totalizam 7,6 milhões em todo o mundo. Por questões religiosas rejeitam transfusão de sangue e seus componentes primários (hemácias, plasma fresco congelado, plaquetas). Objetivo Este estudo visa apresentar os resultados obtidos em pacientes testemunhas de Jeová por um centro de transplante de fígado. Método Realizou-se análise retrospectiva dos registros médicos dos pacientes testemunhas de Jeová (n = 4), que realizaram transplante ortotópico de fígado de setembro de 2009 a setembro de 2011 no Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Parâmetros de coagulação como hemoglobina, hematócrito, plaquetas e International Normalized Ratio (INR) foram avaliados no pré-operatório, no pós-operatório imediato, no 7° e no 30° dia do pós-operatório. Resultados As médias dos parâmetros de coagulação expressaram-se, na cronologia descrita anteriormente, como segue: hematócrito, 35.07% ± 6.65, 24.6% ± 4.74, 19.85% ± 2.10, 31.85% ± 5.99; hemoglobina, 12.57 g/dL ± 2.22, 8.92 g/dL ± 1.75, 6.92 g/dL ± 0.58, 11.17 g/dL ± 0.9; plaquetas, 160,975 mm 3 ± 148000, 128,000 mm 3 ± 34836, 65,000 mm 3 ± 33496, 234,250 mm 3 ...
