Liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia.
Purpose of review: The review focusses on the role of liver transplantation, and rarely combined liver and heart transplantation, in the current management of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH).
Recent findings: The review features world-wide reports published during the past 10 years describing the rationale and outcomes of liver transplantation for children and adults with HoFH. It also provides information on the scale of liver and heart transplantation for a variety of other disorders.
Summary: Liver transplantation provides a more effective means of lowering LDL than currently available alternatives such as apheresis and lomitapide but carries with it an unacceptably high risk of posttransplant morbidity and mortality. This is mainly due to the adverse effects of life-long immunosuppressive drug therapy, which restricts the use of liver transplantation to those HoFH patients in whom optimal medical therapy has failed.
