Erratum to: Prolonged thrombocytopenia after living donor liver transplantation is a strong prognostic predictor irrespective of history of splenectomy: the significance of ADAMTS13 and graft function (International Journal of Hematology, (2014), 99, (418-428), DOI: 10.1007/s12185-014-1543-9)

The author would like to correct the errors in the publication of the original article. The corrected details are given below for your reading. The original article was published with the incorrect title. The correct title should read: “Prolonged thrombocytopenia after living donor liver transplantation is a strong prognostic predictor irrespective of splenectomy: the significance of ADAMTS13 and graft function”. Secondly, the last two sentences beneath the heading “Abstract” should read as“Irrespective of splenectomy, platelet counts and ADAMTS13 activity in the LP group remained low until POD28, while VWF/ADAMTS13 ratio significantly increased until POD28. These results suggest that prolonged thrombocytopenia after LDLT was associated with not only a decrease in ADAMTS13 due to sinusoidal endothelial cell injury, but also low TPO (Figure presented.) production due to hepatocyte dysfunction, irrespective of splenectomy. ” Errors have subsequently been identified in the original publication, and the ollowing corrections should be noted: 1. The revised Figs. 1 and 5 and Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 were replaced with this erratum. 2. References [18] and [27] should be replaced as below. 18.
