| Popis: | We report herein the case of a 46-year-old man with Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) who was referred to our hospital to undergo a right hepatic lobectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. His complicated postoperative conjugated hyperbilirubinemia was successfully treated by hemopurification based on the increased level of serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). It is considered that hemopurification based on the early postoperative HGF levels has beneficial effects for patients with DJS; however, the specific role of hemopurification in the conjugated hyperbilirubinemia that develops postoperatively in these patients has not been determined. |
