title: [Acute liver failure following heat stroke].
abstract: Hepatic involvement during heat stroke appears frequently. In some severe and rare cases liver transplantation is needed. We report a case of a 31 years old man, amateur runner, who suffered heat stroke-related acute liver failure, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure and coagulation im-pairment during a marathon. High environmental temperature, exercise duration and height where race took place could be involved. Patient had a favourable course with conservative treatment being discharged in a few days.
