Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

Fatty acid oxidation defects (FAODs) may underlie or modify the course of acute liver failure (ALF). Overall significance of carnitine/acylcarnitine and aminoacid profile in ALF is similarly undetermined. Thus, this study was undertaken to study the abnormalities in carnitine/acylcarnitine and aminoacid profile in ALF.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

A prospective study was performed including all cases of ALF and detailed evaluation including metabolic testing was done.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

Data regarding pediatric primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) natural history are limited. We describe a large pediatric PSC cohort with longitudinal follow-up.

METHODS:

The present study records review of pediatric patients with PSC diagnosed between 1984 and 2014.

A UNIQUE DAY OUT !
On Christmas eve 2016, a group of enthusiastic young adults came together for an outing to the IMAGICA theme park organised by Children’s Liver Foundation(CLF) in collaboration with THINK foundation. They were all patients of thalassemia who have been successfully treated for Hepatitis C.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of hypertension in pediatric liver transplantation (LT) recipients using ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM) and to identify factors associated with hypertension. We also investigated whether hypertension or tacrolimus predose concentration (TAC C0) was associated with increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness.

Abstract

Acetaminophen toxicity is a common cause of pediatric liver failure. The diagnosis may be limited by the short window of detection of acetaminophen in serum. Recently acetaminophen protein adducts (APAP-CYS) have been used as a biomarker with a longer duration of detection. The objective of this study was to describe the serum concentrations of APAP-CYS in pediatric patients with and without reported therapeutic acetaminophen exposure.
