The effects of heat stroke on hepatic structure were studied in 32 Bantu patients who worked underground in the Transvaal and Orange Free State Gold Mines.Judging from biochemical and morphologic findings, liver damage is an invariable complication of heat stroke. In the milder cases (90 per cent) raised enzyme levels, bromsulphalein retention, and increased prothrombin times were the most common abnormalities.

Summary Objective: Severe thrombocytopenia is a common sequelae to heat stroke in dogs. So far it has been hypothezised that it is due to disseminated intravascular coagulation. We hypothezised that it is due to immune mediated destruction via antiplatelet antibodies. Material and methods: Prospective evaluation of dogs with heat stroke from May 2005 to August 2008. Dogs that developed severe thrombocytopenia within 5 days of admission were included in the study. All dogs were treated with a standardized treatment protocol. In addition, they received either immunoglobulins or prednisolone. Results: Six dogs were presented with heat stroke during that time period. Four developed a severe thrombocytopenia. All four dogs tested positive for antiplatelet antibodies and did not have elevated D-Dimers at that time. Platelet count in three dogs recovered fully, one dog was euthanized due to liver and renal failure. Conclusion: In those cases thrombocytopenia was due to immune mediated destruction not due to DIC. Clinical rele-vance: Due to the severity of the thrombocytopenia and the high risk for bleeding in those patients, immunosuppressive therapy in addition to DIC prophylaxis should be discussed.

Background.Exertional heat stroke is a life-threatening condition often complicated by multiorgan failure. We hereby present a case of a 25-year-old male presenting with syncope after a 10  km run in 28°C outside temperature who developed acute liver failure. Case Presentation. Initial temperature was found to be 41.1°C, and cooling measures were rapidly applied. He suffered from acute renal failure and rhabdomyolysis and proceeded to acute liver failure (ASAT 6100 U/l and ALAT 6561 U/l) due to hypoxic hepatitis on day 3. He did not meet criteria for emergency liver transplantation and recovered on supportive care. Conclusions. Acute liver failure due to heat stroke is a life-threatening condition with often delayed onset, which nevertheless resolves on supportive care in the majority of cases; thus, a delayed referral to transplant seems to be reasonable.
