@entity1423 indicates a condition in which an expected increase in platelet count is not attained after platelet transfusion. We report herein two cases of @entity1423 that were caused by the presence of antibodies against the human @entity4107 following partial hepatectomy for @entity157 . Due to low postoperative platelet counts in the first case, the @entity1 was transfused with 75 units of platelet concentrate for 3 days after surgery, but was unable to gain a significant increase in the platelet count because of platelet transfusion refractoriness due to anti-human @entity4107 antibodies. This case was not complicated and had a favorable clinical course. Despite being transfused with 60 units of platelet concentrate during the 2 days after surgery, the @entity1 's platelet count in the second case did not increase because of the presence of anti-human @entity4107 antibodies. Bleeding from the cut surface of the liver into the intraperitoneal cavity was found on the second postoperative day because of a decrease in platelet count. On postoperative day 5, disseminated @entity5642 occurred. Perioperative @entity1423 is an intractable complication since no efficient treatment is available. Preoperative examinations for anti-platelet antibodies should be performed in @entity1 undergoing hepatectomy for @entity157 . This is especially true in cases of decreased platelet counts due to preceding liver @entity82 and when the prediction for postoperative platelet transfusions is necessary.

@entity1423 following partial hepatectomy for XXXX : report of two cases.
