Abstract

At hepatology intravenous immunoglobulin was tested in several areas, but the evidence base of effectiveness is different at each nosology and often insufficient for routine use of the drug. However, immunoglobulin therapy may be useful for hepatologist in the management of severe, unusual clinical cases in the framework of a personalized treatment, in connection with which specialist should be well informed about the current experience of using immunotherapy for various hepatological indications.

This article describes clinical case of fulminant viral hepatitis B with acute liver failure and encephalopathy in which managed to save the life of the patient only after the addition to the standard treatment regimen intravenous immunoglobulin.
