CLINICAL, LABORATORIAL AND EVOLUTIONARY ASPECTS OF PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH LIVER DISEASE DUE TO ALPHA 1-ANTITRYPSIN DEFICIENCY

Mariana Pena Costa 1, Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira 1, Adriana Teixeira Rodrigues 1, Eleonora Druve Tavares Fagundes 1, Thais Costa Nascentes Queiroz 2

Abstract

Background: Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a hereditary codominant autosomal disease. This liver disease ranges from asymptomatic cases to terminal illness, which makes early recognition and diagnosis challenging. It is the main cause of pediatric liver transplantation after biliary atresia.

LRH-1 agonist DLPC through STAT6 promotes macrophage polarization and prevents parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis in mice

Swati Ghosh 1, Michael W Devereaux 1, Cuining Liu 1, Ronald J Sokol 1 2

Abstract

Background aims: Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) is important complication in patients with intestinal failure with reduced LRH-1 expression. Here, we hypothesized that LRH-1 activation by its agonist, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC), would trigger STAT6 signaling and hepatic macrophage polarization that would mediate hepatic protection in PNAC.

Danish children with ZZ-homozygous alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are more affected on liver parameters than children with heterozygosity

Christina Louise Winther 1, Sofie Nyrann 1, Rasmus Gaardskaer Nielsen 2, Morten Duno 3, Klaus Birkelund Johansen 4, Thora Wesenberg Helt 5, Vibeke Brix Christensen 1

Abstract
Aim: The longitudinal health status of Danish children with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency had never previously been characterised. This study aimed to assess the changes in growth, lung and liver function through childhood in these children.

Abstract

Background: Solid organ transplantation has evolved in recent decades, resulting in a rise in patient and graft survival. Frequent hospitalizations affect graft function, patients' health, and quality of life. This study characterizes the frequency and causes of post-transplant hospitalizations among pediatric recipients.

Multidisciplinary management of children with acute liver failure - Report on 104 children treated in single center

Piotr Kaliciński 1, Ryszard Grenda 2, Marek Szymczak 1, Elżbieta Pietraszek 3, Joanna Pawłowska 4

Abstract
Background: Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is one of the most demanding emergencies in hepatology, intensive care, and for transplant team. This report describes the clinical pattern, diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in children with ALF considered at risk of death without liver transplantation, basing on a long-term experience of the pediatric transplant center.
