Abstract
Plasma cell rich rejection (PCAR), formerly also known as plasma cell rich hepatitis or de novo autoimmune hepatitis. It is a form of dysfunction after liver transplantation that occurs in 3% to 5% of patients with liver disease without a previous history of autoimmune hepatitis. PCAR has a high risk of graft loss but is easily overlooked because it is a rare form of graft rejection, especially in pediatric liver transplantation. We report a case of PCAR after liver transplantation from a living donor with incompatible blood types.
