Clinical course of patient 2. As in case 1 (Fig 5) the early rise in SGOT is probably ascribable to ischemic injury to the homograft. Note the abrupt fall in serum bilirubin and the improvement in prothrombin time. Rejection was diagnosed on day 4, after which serum bilirubin rose but never to the preoperative level. The inexorable leukopenia which began during the third post-operative week was apparently the most important cause of ultimate failure; the patient died of sepsis.
