A 36-year-old man with severe alcoholic hepatitis was treated with plasma exchange combined with hemodiafiltration to remove endotoxins and inflammatory cytokines. During the treatment, he had critical arrhythmia (torsade de pointes [TdP]). His laboratory data showed hypomagnesemia, which was suspected to be responsible for the development of TdP. Patients with alcoholic liver disease tend to have hypomagnesemia and Q-T interval prolongation. Furthermore, hemodiafiltration may cause hypomagnesemia. Careful observation for electrolytic imbalance is necessary when clinicians treat patients with alcoholic liver failure with a liver support system.
