Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined as a triad characterized by arterial deoxygenation, intrapulmonary vascular dilatations (IPVDs), and liver disorder. The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of HPS in children with cirrhosis, the clinical characteristics of patients with HPS, and the tests used for the diagnosis of IPVD.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive mothers are at a higher risk for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Host genetic background plays an important role in determining the strength of immune response to vaccination. We conducted this study to investigate the association between Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and Mitogen-activated protein kinase eight (MAPK8) polymorphisms and low response to hepatitis B vaccines.

Liver transplant score for prediction of biliary atresia patients' survival following Kasai procedure

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29898778 Biliary Atresia

BMC Res Notes. 2018 Jun 13;11(1):381. doi: 10.1186/s13104-018-3498-z.
Liver transplant score for prediction of biliary atresia patients' survival following Kasai procedure.Gunadi1, Gunawan TA2, Widiyanto G2, Yuanita A2, Mulyani NS3, Makhmudi A2.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
Recently, a scoring system has been developed to predict which patients with biliary atresia (BA) who underwent a Kasai procedure should be considered for liver transplant. Here, we applied the scoring system to predict the survival of BA patients following the Kasai procedure at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from January 2012 to January 2016.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Liver transplantation (LT) is an excellent treatment option for patients with biliary atresia (BA) who fail portoenterostomy surgery. LT is also increasingly performed in patients with metabolic liver diseases. This study compared the outcomes in pediatric patients who underwent LT for metabolic liver diseases and BA.

Prevalence of celiac disease among pediatric patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis and effect of gluten-free-diet

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29948993 Cirrhosis

Prevalence of celiac disease among pediatric patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis and effect of gluten-free-diet.Joshi A, Falodia S, Kumar N, Gupta P, Khatri PC.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Liver involvement in celiac disease (CD) is classified into autoimmune and cryptogenic. The association between CD and autoimmune liver diseases like autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis is well-established; however, the data on patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis, particularly from India, are scanty. So we did this study to find the prevalence of CD in patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis.
