Abstract
A 19 year old man underwent orthotopic liver and intestinal transplantation in January 1997 for the treatment of short bowel syndrome secondary to a mid gut volvulus with resection and cholestatic liver disease resulting from total parenteral nutrition. The organ donor was an 18 year old woman posthumously discovered to be a C282Y homozygote for haemochromatosis.Keywords
