Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Complicating Liver Transplantation
Ann Neurol 38:828-831, Taylor,B.V.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report on a patient who had chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy following liver transplantation for hepatitis B- induced fulminate hepatic failure.Possible symptomatic recurrence of hepatitis B in the graft prompted a reduction in the cyclosporine dosage, which may have triggered the immune response leading to demyelination. Initial plasma exchange and then intravenous immune globulin after relapse led to marked clinical improvement.
