Respiratory Morbidity Following Pediatric Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28159955

Alam S, Sapare A, Rao S, Aggarwal R, D'cruz AL. Indian Pediatr. 2017 Feb 2.

Abstract
We evaluated the pulmonary complications following orthotopic liver transplantation in children (age <18 y). Twenty-two patients (49%) developed respiratory complications. Pediatric end-stage liver disease(PELD) score >25 and positive fluid balance were independent risk factors. Patients with respiratory complication had significantly higher mortality and intensive care unit stay.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
To examine the distribution of birth weight in children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared with the general US population, and to investigate the relationship between birth weight and severity of NAFLD.

Serum uric acid concentrations and fructose consumption are independently associated with NASH in children and adolescents

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28214020

J Hepatol. 2017 Feb 6. pii: S0168-8278(17)30002-8

Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Recent research has suggested that dietary fructose intake may increase serum uric acid (UA) concentrations. Both UA concentration and fructose consumption maybe also increase in NAFLD. It is not known whether dietary fructose consumption and UA concentration are independently associated with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Our aim was to investigate the factors associated with NASH in children and adolescents with proven NAFLD, and to test whether UA concentrations and fructose consumption are independently associated with NASH.

Portal hypertension in children: High-risk varices, primary prophylaxis and consequences of bleeding

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27663417

Duché M, Ducot B, Ackermann O, Guérin F, Jacquemin E, Bernard O. J Hepatol. 2017 Feb;66(2):320-327.

Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Primary prophylaxis of bleeding is debated for children with portal hypertension because of the limited number of studies on its safety and efficacy, the lack of a known endoscopic pattern carrying a high-risk of bleeding for all causes, and the assumption that the mortality of a first bleed is low. We report our experience with these issues.

Prevalence and Significance of Autoantibodies in Children With Acute Liver Failure

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27496798

Narkewicz MR, Horslen S, Belle SH, Rudnick DA, Ng VL, Rosenthal P, Romero R, Loomes KM, Zhang S, Hardison RM, Squires RH; Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Study Group..
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2017 Feb;64(2):210-217.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the present study is to estimate autoantibody (auto-AB) frequency, clinical characteristics, and 21-day outcome of participants in the Pediatric Acute Liver Failure Study Group (PALFSG) by antinuclear antibody, smooth muscle antibody, and liver-kidney microsomal (LKM) antibody status.

METHODS:
Auto-ABs were determined at local and/or central laboratories. Subjects were assigned to autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), indeterminate, and other diagnoses groups.
