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

BACKGROUND & AIMS:

No treatment for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been approved by regulatory agencies. We performed a randomized controlled trial to determine whether 52 weeks of cysteamine bitartrate delayed release (CBDR) reduces the severity of liver disease in children with NAFLD.

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.

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.
