Cerebral autoregulation and metabolism may be seriously compromised in patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). The mechanism responsible for the alteration in cerebral blood flow (CBF) has not been yet clearly defined; however, it is known that it does correlate with liver function. Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) rapidly restores normal liver function, but little is known about the restoration of cerebral metabolism and hemodynamics. To investigate the relationship between liver function and CBF, we evaluated autoregulation and metabolic changes during OLT in six patients comatose due to FHF.
