Description
We herein report the case of a 39-year-old male who presented with fulminant hepatic failure following exertional heatstroke induced after running 8 km. His temperature was 40.9°C. Acute hepatic failure occurred 3 days later and the patient thereafter fell into a hepatic coma, with a prothronbin level of 20%, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 3,330 IU/l, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of 5,880 IU/l, hepaplastin test of 20%, arterial ketone body ratio (AKBR) 0.69, and NH3 155μg/dl on day 4. We performed plasma exchange (PE), followed by continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF). The patient thereafter completely recovered while receiving conservative treatment. Severe hepatic failure due to exertional heatstroke typically occurs 3 days after onset and it tends to recover under conservative treatment. An early detailed evaluation of the liver is considered to be essential for the successful clinical management of patients presenting with exertional heatstroke.
