BACKGROUND: Transient @entity22497 (TH), which incidence in healthy @entity1 is 1.5-2.8%, is associated with a temporary elevation of the serum @entity623 ( @entity623 ) without any other liver function test (LFT) abnormalities. 'Fast a2 band', which is detected using agarose gel electrophoresis, is known to be a highly sensitive phenomenon in TH. The aim of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of TH after liver transplantation (LT). METHODS: Five TH cases (6.0%) of the 83 @entity1 , who underwent LT at our department between October 1996 and October 2014, were included in this study. The background, duration of TH, peak @entity623 value, time course of @entity623 and its isoenzyme in TH, other LFTs, and imaging results were retrospectively investigated. RESULTS: The median age of the @entity1 at the time of the peak @entity623 level during TH was 24 months (range: 16-98 months). The mean duration of TH was 111.0  48.0 days. At 6,887 IU/L, the median @entity623 level was elevated without any other @entity409 . The first a2 band was detected in all cases, and the band disappeared at the same phase of @entity623 normalization. All of the cases successfully improved without any treatments. The prevalence of TH was significantly higher in the @entity1 after LT than in an age-matched healthy @entity1 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The detection of fast a2 band in the early phase allows for an effective diagnosis of TH after LT, and the 3-4 months follow-up without any treatments was feasible.
