Abstract

Objectives: Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSSs) are rare but increasingly recognized as a cause of important multisystem morbidity. We present new cases and a systematic literature review and propose an algorithm for the identification and care of affected patients.

Objectives: (i) To construct hour-specific serum total bilirubin (STB) nomogram in neonates born at ≥35 weeks of gestation; (ii)To evaluate efficacy of pre-discharge bilirubin measurement in predicting hyperbilirubinemia needing treatment.

Design: Diagnostic test performance in a prospective cohort study.

Setting: Teaching hospital in Northern India.

Subjects: Healthy neonates with gestation ³35 weeks or birth weight ³2000 g.

Intervention: Serum total bilirubin was measured in all enrolled neonates at 24±6, 72-96 and 96-144 h of postnatal age and when indicated clinically. Neonates were followed up during hospital stay and after discharge till completion of 7th postnatal day.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is not only a surrogate marker of chronic liver disease but also predictive of future development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults; however, pediatric reference data are rare, and “healthy-range ALT limits” have not been assessed to predict cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to investigate predictive factors and long-term outcomes of de novo portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in cirrhosis.

METHODS: The incidence and factors predictive of PVT (diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound) and prognosis were examined in 150 patients with virus-related cirrhosis but without PVT at baseline.

Abstract

Objectives: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and progression to the more severe form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), in children. We aimed to study the clinical correlation between bilirubin, a potent endogenous antioxidant with cytoprotective properties, and histopathological findings in pediatric patients with NAFLD.

What is organ donation?

Organ donation is a gracious act which provides an opportunity to save many lives after our death. The donated organs are transplanted into patients who are suffering form end stage organ failure. It gives a chance for second life in such patients.
