Liver transplant recipient with respiratory failure due to pulmonary fibrosis related to telomere disease requiring lung transplantation
Short telomere syndrome (STS) is characterized as multiorgan dysfunction presenting with unexplained cytopenias, cryptogenic cirrhosis and pulmonary fibrosis. We present a liver transplant recipient that gradually developed hypoxic respiratory failure attributed to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis asso...
