Liver transplantation in patients with situs inversus. (1/274)

Two patients with situs inversus and biliary atresia were treated with hepatic transplantation, one with an auxiliary liver and the other with an orthotopic graft which was placed using a piggy-back technique. Both transplants functioned well initially. The auxiliary liver was rejected after 1 1/2 months, and the patient died after an attempt at retransplantation many months later. The recipient of the orthotopic liver has perfect liver function 10 months postoperatively.  (+info)

Screening of newborn infants for cholestatic hepatobiliary disease with tandem mass spectrometry. (2/274)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of screening for cholestatic hepatobiliary disease and extrahepatic biliary atresia by using tandem mass spectrometry to measure conjugated bile acids in dried blood spots obtained from newborn infants at 7-10 days of age for the Guthrie test. SETTING: Three tertiary referral clinics and regional neonatal screening laboratories. DESIGN: Unused blood spots from the Guthrie test were retrieved for infants presenting with cholestatic hepatobiliary disease and from the two cards stored on either side of each card from an index child. Concentrations of conjugated bile acids measured by tandem mass spectrometry in the two groups were compared. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Concentrations of glycodihydroxycholanoates, glycotrihydroxycholanoates, taurodihydroxycholanoates, and taurotrihydroxycholanoates. Receiver operator curves were plotted to determine which parameter (or combination of parameters) would best predict the cases of cholestatic hepatobiliary disease and extrahepatic biliary atresia. The sensitivity and specificity at a selection of cut off values for each bile acid species and for total bile acid concentrations for the detection of the two conditions were calculated. RESULTS: 218 children with cholestatic hepatobiliary disease were eligible for inclusion in the study. Two children without a final diagnosis and five who presented at <14 days of age were excluded. Usable blood spots were obtained from 177 index children and 708 comparison children. Mean concentrations of all four bile acid species were significantly raised in children with cholestatic hepatobiliary disease and extrahepatic biliary atresia compared with the unaffected children (P<0.0001). Of 177 children with cholestatic hepatobiliary disease, 104 (59%) had a total bile acid concentration >33 micromol/l (97.5th centile value for comparison group). Of the 61 with extrahepatic biliary atresia, 47 (77%) had total bile acid concentrations >33 micromol/l. Taurotrihydroxycholanoate and total bile acid concentrations were the best predictors of both conditions. For all cholestatic hepatobiliary disease, a cut off level of total bile acid concentration of 30 micromol/l gave a sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 96%, while the corresponding values for extrahepatic biliary atresia were 79% and 96%. CONCLUSION: Most children who present with extrahepatic biliary atresia and other forms of cholestatic hepatobiliary disease have significantly raised concentrations of conjugated bile acids as measured by tandem mass spectrometry at the time when samples are taken for the Guthrie test. Unfortunately the separation between the concentrations in these infants and those in the general population is not sufficient to make mass screening for cholestatic hepatobiliary disease a feasible option with this method alone.  (+info)

Partial left lateral segment transplant from a living donor. (3/274)

A shortage of liver donors for low-weight transplant recipients has prompted the development of procedures for liver-reduction, split-liver, and living related donor transplantations. For pediatric recipients weighing less than 10 kg, the left lateral segment is often still too large. We describe the procedure of monosegmental transplantation using segment II after segment III was resected in situ from a living related donor. Successful monosegmental transplantation is technically feasible and is a valid alternative to be considered for cases of size discrepancy between the recipient's volume and the donor's left lateral segment.  (+info)

Extrahepatic metabolism of sevoflurane in children undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. (4/274)

BACKGROUND: Sevoflurane is metabolized by cytochrome P450 and produces inorganic fluoride. The anhepatic phase of liver transplantation provides a useful tool to study the extrahepatic metabolism of drugs. The authors therefore studied the extrahepatic metabolism of sevoflurane by measuring the fluoride production in children receiving sevoflurane solely during the anhepatic phase of orthotopic liver transplantation. METHODS: Children with end-stage liver disease undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation were studied. Anesthesia was provided with isoflurane, sufentanil, and pancuronium. In one group, isoflurane was replaced by sevoflurane as soon as the liver was removed from the patient and maintained until reperfusion of the new liver. Arterial blood samples were drawn at induction, before removal of the liver, 15 min and 30 min after the beginning of the anhepatic phase, at the unclamping of the new liver, and finally 60 and 120 min after the unclamping. Plasma fluoride concentrations were determined by ion-selective electrode. RESULTS: No differences between the two groups (n = 10) regarding age, weight, duration of the anhepatic phase, or basal level of inorganic fluoride were found. The fluoride concentration increased significantly as soon as sevoflurane was introduced; it remained stable in the group receiving isoflurane. The peak fluoride concentration was also significantly higher in the first group (mean +/- SD: 5.5 +/- 0.8 microM (sevoflurane group) versus 1.4 +/- 0.5 microM (isoflurane group) P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the existence of an extrahepatic metabolism of sevoflurane at least in children with end-stage liver disease.  (+info)

Health-related quality of life in long-term survivors of pediatric liver transplantation. (5/274)

The purpose of this study is to measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children who are long-term survivors of liver transplantation and to pilot the Liver Transplant Disability Scale (LTDS), a newly developed 12-point scale that quantifies chronic medical disability related to liver transplantation. This study is a cross-sectional survey of 51 children surviving liver transplantation by at least 2 years, with a median age of 4.94 years. Functional capacity and utility scores were measured by the Health Utilities Index Mark II (HUI2), and chronic disease-specific medical disability was measured by the LTDS. HUI2 results were compared with a reference population. LTDS scores were compared with utility scores and patient survival 3 years later. Ninety percent of the study patients had functional deficits compared with 50% of controls. Functional impairment was typically mild. The resulting mean utility score, 0.86 +/- 0.13 (0 = dead, 1 = perfect health), was significantly less than that of the reference population, 0.95 +/- 0. 07 (P <.001). LTDS scores ranged from 0 (no disability) to 6 (moderate disability). Seventy-one percent of the children had mild disability (scores 0 to 3), and 29% had moderate disability (scores 4 to 6). LTDS scores did not correlate with utility scores but were predictive of survival. The majority of pediatric liver transplant recipients have mild functional deficits. Their utility scores reflected a high level of HRQOL but were significantly less than those of a reference population. The majority also had mild medical disability, predominantly delayed growth. Medical disability did not correlate with HRQOL but predicted survival 3 years later.  (+info)

The significance of functioning gallbladder visualization on hepatobiliary scintigraphy in infants with persistent jaundice. (6/274)

The purpose of this study was to determine whether gallbladder visualization can help exclude biliary atresia in hepatobiliary scintigraphic studies of infants with persistent jaundice. METHODS: One hundred fifty-two infants with persistent jaundice (49 patients with a final diagnosis of biliary atresia and 103 with biliary patency) were studied using both hepatobiliary scintigraphy and abdominal sonography. Food was withheld for 4 h before the examination, and the infants were fed nothing but glucose until 6 h after the initial injection of (99m)Tc-disofenin or until the gallbladder was seen. If the gallbladder was seen, the infants were fed milk, and imaging was continued to observe gallbladder contractility. RESULTS: In none of the 49 patients with biliary atresia could the gallbladder be seen with hepatobiliary scintigraphy, but abdominal sonography revealed 9 normal-sized gallbladders. Of the 103 patients with biliary patency, hepatobiliary scintigraphy detected the gallbladder more frequently (74%, 76/103) than did abdominal sonography (63%, 65/103). All visualized gallbladders contracted after the infants were fed milk. If we include visualization of both the gallbladder and bowel radioactivity as criteria, the specificity of biliary atresia on hepatobiliary scintigraphy increases to 86% (89/103). CONCLUSION: Gallbladders were usually visible on hepatobiliary scintigraphy of fasting patients with biliary patency. A functioning gallbladder, with or without visualization of bowel radioactivity, indicated biliary patency.  (+info)

Characteristics of Malaysian infants with biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis. (7/274)

Cholestatic disorders of infancy (viz neonatal hepatitis and biliary atresia) have not been well studied in Malaysia. In a retrospective study in the Department of Paediatrics, University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur from January 1982 through December 1991, a total of ninety-three infants with such conditions were identified: 35 (38%) had biliary atresia, 58 (62%) neonatal hepatitis. There was a statistically significant male preponderance in the neonatal hepatitis group (P = 0.020). There was no significant difference in the racial distribution and in the proportions of low birthweight infants between the two groups of disorders. When the biliary atresia group was compared with the neonatal hepatitis group, significant differences were observed in the age of presentation (mean +/- SD) 9.8 +/- 6.8 VS 20 +/- 17.3 weeks (P < 0.001), proportion of infants with prolonged jaundice (> seven weeks) 28/35 (80%) VS 20/58 (34.5%) (P < 0.00001), occurrence of alcoholic stools 26/35 (74.3%) VS 27/58 (46.6%) (P = 0.020), liver size (mean +/- SD): 4.3 (1.6 cm VS 3.3 +/- 1.8 cm (P < 0.01) and splenic size: 2.5 (1.8 cm VS 1.4 (1.2 cm (P < 0.001). There was however considerable overlap between the two groups in these features at presentation, making clinical differentiation between the two conditions difficult. Infants with cholestasis tended to present late, compromising the chance of survival. In order to improve the medical care of these patients, these conditions must be emphasised during the training of medical practitioners, and efforts to increase public awareness of these conditions must be created.  (+info)

Paediatric liver transplantation: Queen Mary Hospital experience. (8/274)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of paediatric liver transplantation in our institution. METHODS: From September 1993 to November 1996, 10 living-related liver transplants (LRLT) and 3 reduced-size liver transplants (RSLT) were performed on 12 children at our hospital. The medical records of the patients were reviewed. All patients suffered from end-stage liver disease resulting from biliary atresia with failed Kasai's operations. Their ages at initial transplantation ranged from 8 months to 11 years. Excluding the 2 older children aged 7.5 and 11 years, the remaining patients were aged 10.5 months on the average and weighed 6 to 9.5 kg (mean: 6.8 kg) at the time of initial transplantation. RESULTS: All living donors were discharged on postoperative day 4 to 8 and resumed their previous normal activities. All recipients were alive with normal liver function and growing after a follow-up period of 3-40 months (mean: 21 months). The patient survival rate was 100%. One patient with RSLT had hepatitis of undetermined aetiology and underwent retransplant with a graft from her mother. The graft survival rate was 92%. Postoperative complications included: postoperative bleeding (n = 3), hepatic vein stenosis (n = I), biliary-enteric anastomotic stenosis (n = 3), intestinal perforation (n = I) and portal vein thrombosis (n = I). They were all treated promptly. In all patients, the hepatic artery (diameter ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 mm) anastomosis was achieved by microvascular technique. There was no hepatic artery thrombosis in our patients. CONCLUSION: With technical refinements, early detection and prompt treatment of complications, and advances in immunotherapy, excellent results can be achieved in paediatric liver transplantation.  (+info)

Biliary atresia - Wikipedia  Biliary atresia - Wikipedia
Biliary atresia, also known as extrahepatic ductopenia and progressive obliterative cholangiopathy, is a childhood disease of the liver in which one or more bile ducts are abnormally narrow, blocked, or absent. It can be congenital or acquired. As a birth defect in newborn infants, it has an incidence of one in 10,000-15,000 live births in the United States, and a prevalence of one in 16,700 in the British Isles. Biliary atresia is most common in East Asia, with a frequency of one in 5,000. The causes of biliary atresia are not well understood. Congenital biliary atresia has been associated with certain genes, while acquired biliary atresia is thought to be a result of an autoimmune inflammatory response, possibly due to a viral infection of the liver soon after birth. The only effective treatments[citation needed] are surgeries such as the Kasai procedure and liver transplantation.

Biliary Atresia - a child who survived seven surgeries and a liver transplant | Childrens Liver Foundation  Biliary Atresia - a child who survived seven surgeries and a liver transplant | Children's Liver Foundation
Child with yellow eyes and white stools from birth - A case of Biliary Atresia who survived seven surgeries and a liver transplant...... Sarah, elder among two siblings, was born on 9th Dec, 2012. She was born to the couple who had a consanguineous marriage.. Sarah had yellow eyes, and passed white stools which were noticed by Dr. Farooq when she was taken for immunization. Sonography at the age of two months revealed Biliary Atresia - a condition characterised by a fibrotic bile duct.. Sarahs parents brought her to Dr. Santosh Karmarkar - Pediatric surgeon at Wadia hospital, who performed the Kasai operation when she was two and a half months of age. Sarah was put on nutritional supplements as she was not taking feeds properly. After this operation, she developed internal bleeding which was controlled by conservative treatment.. Sarah started growing up but not at the pace at which children of her age grew. Though intellectually active, physically she was always weak. While her younger sister ...

Results. Of the 74 patients investigated, 39 (52%) had BA and 35 had other causes of surgical hepatobiliary disease (Table 1); 27 (69%) BA patients and 31 (89%) non-BA patients were reviewed following the exclusion of 12 BA patients and 4 non-BA patients due to lack of sufficient data. Twenty-one (78%) BA patients had CMV positivity (IgM/IgG) on testing; 20 were IgM-positive, whereas 8 non-BA cholestatic jaundiced patients were IgM-positive (p,0.01). Two (7.5%) of 27 BA infants were HIV-exposed (born to HIV-positive mothers), whereas 7 (35%) of the non-BA group were HIV-positive (p,0.01). Both HIV-exposed BA infants were CMV-IgM-positive. Long-term outcomes of the 21 CMV-positive BA patients (non-HIV exposed) included 3 deaths and a higher rate of severe early liver damage, suggesting a poorer outcome in CMV-affected patients.. Discussion. The surgical causes of prolonged neonatal jaundice include BA, hypoplasia of bile ducts, inspissated bile ducts, choledochal cysts and spontaneous bile duct ...

We have previously shown that pre-treatment with our novel cyclophilin (Cyp) inhibitor, MM284, could prevent disease in the animal model of biliary atresia (BA) by decreasing SMAD phosphorylation and TIMP-4 and MMP-7 expression. We hypothesized that MM284 treatment after viral infection would be similarly effective, and in vitro MM284 could prevent Cyp stimulation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Newborn Balb/c mice were randomized to receive an intraperitoneal injection with saline control or rhesus rotavirus (RRV) within 24 hours of birth. Animals receiving RRV were further randomized to receive either 20mg/kg i.p of MM284 or control vehicle starting day of life 2, and then thrice weekly. Mice treated with MM284 were normal weight, had an approximately five-fold decrease in TIMP-4 and a tenfold decrease in MMP7 mRNA expression when compared to RRV mice. SMAD2/3 phosphorylation in the HSC lysates revealed a significant 1.5-fold increase after CypA treatment relative to untreated cells which ...

APSA - Biliary Atresia  APSA - Biliary Atresia
The operation: How the surgery is started depends on how sure the surgeons are of the diagnosis of biliary atresia. If the diagnosis of biliary atresia before the surgery is not clear, then a dye is injected into the gallbladder to define the structure the bile ducts (cholangiogram) and a liver biopsy are performed. If no ducts are present, then the surgeon proceeds with the operation to drain the bile from the liver to the small intestine. This procedure is called Kasai procedure. It is named for the surgeon who invented the surgery. In this procedure, the surgeon finds an area in the middle of the liver where there are small tubules that may be able to drain bile from the liver. A piece of small intestine is sewn on to this area of the liver for bile drainage. ...

Biliary atresia occurs when biliary ducts are obstructed due to progressive sclerosis of the common bile duct. In most cases, biliary atresia develops a few weeks after birth, probably after inflammation and scarring of the extrahepatic (and sometimes intrahepatic) bile ducts. It is rarely found in stillborns or in newborns at birth. The cause of the inflammatory response is uncertain.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence of acute asymptomatic group A and C rotavirus (RV-A and RV-C) infection in neonates with cholestasis. STUDY DESIGN: Participants were infants ,180 days of age with cholestasis (serum direct or conjugated bilirubin ,20% of total and ≥2 mg/dL) enrolled in the Childhood Liver Disease Research and Education Network during RV season (December-May). Forty infants with biliary atresia (BA), age 62 ± 29 days (range, 4.7-13 weeks) and 38 infants with cholestasis, age 67 ± 44 days (range, 3-15.8 weeks) were enrolled. RESULTS: At enrollment, RV-A IgM positivity rates did not differ between infants with BA (10%) vs those without (18%) (P = .349). RV-C IgM was positive in 0% of infants with BA vs 3% in those without BA (P = .49). RV-A IgG was lower in infants with BA: 51 ± 39 vs 56 ± 44 enzyme-linked immunoassay unit, P = .045 but this difference may lack biological relevance as maternal RV-A IgG titers were similar between groups.

Some patients have a second molecular conductor of disease called Th2 (T helper cell 2) immune system.. Biliary atresia is disease that destroys the bile ducts in and near the liver in the first few months of life. Driven by an overly aggressive immune system response after birth, the condition is the most common cause of severe pediatric liver disease. The ducts, which normally carry bile from the liver and gall bladder to the intestines, become blocked over time. Even with treatment, which can include surgery, children often need a liver transplant within two years of birth.. Despite the need for ...

Given variability in data and limitation to single institution cohorts in previous studies, the goal of this project was to better define which histologic features are the strongest predictors of biliary atresia (BA) and identify parameters that may be of prognostic significance. This study utilized data and slide review from cholestatic infants that were prospectively enrolled in the multicenter ChiLDReN network to determine which histologic features: (1) could distinguish BA from non-BA causes of cholestasis [N=227]; (2) varied with respect to clinical parameters (including age); and (3) correlated with clinical outcome in BA patients after hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE) [N=316]. Except for patient age, central review pathologists were blinded to all clinical information and scored 26 histologic features based on consensus.

Although infants with BA who were diagnosed and treated earlier have better outcomes, it is still unknown when BA starts. The disease is thought to be acquired some time after birth in otherwise healthy infants. Our results, however, suggest that BA is already present in the immediate newborn period. All subjects with BA in this study had elevated DB/CB levels throughout the first 4 days of life and starting as early as 1 HoL. Furthermore, at 24 to 48 HoL, subjects with BA had significantly higher mean DB levels compared to controls, even though their mean TB level was below phototherapy limits and their mean DB:TB ratio was considered normal. Thus, rather than being unaffected at birth, and acquiring the disease later, it appears that newborns with BA have abnormalities that are readily detected by common laboratory tests. The findings raise the possibility of identifying infants who may have BA shortly after birth, which in turn has the potential to improve their outcomes.. Because these ...

Jemima and Adebowales youngest child, Halima, was born on June 8th 2017. Eight weeks later she was diagnosed with the rare liver disease, biliary atresia which means her bile ducts were damaged and her liver was not functioning properly.. "At nine weeks old Halima underwent surgery known as the Kasai procedure to try to establish bile flow" says Jemima. "Unfortunately we were informed straight away that it was unlikely to be successful as her liver was in a bad condition.. After a few follow up appointments and various tests Halima was listed for a liver transplant. She has been in and out of hospital since, sometimes for weeks at a time.. Because she was not taking her feeds and therefore losing weight she was fitted an NG feeding tube in November. Since then she has slowly put on weight and is doing much better.

Performing at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY (photo by Jessica Salinas)Not only was 2016 the best year of my life, it has also been the hardest. I became a mother in January, and my son, Stanley, is a source of pure joy. When he was diagnosed with the rare liver disorder biliary atresia in March, our world turned upside down. He underwent a surgical procedure called the Kasai and spent three weeks in the hospital, during which we discovered he also had bilateral cateracts and needed two more surgeries. The doctors followed his progress and eventually determined that he would need a liver transplant. In June, Stanley was put on the organ list, and we got the call on July 15th. He spent 37 more days in the hospital, 31 of which were in the pediatric intensive care unit due to various complications. As one would expect, the experience has been an emotional roller coaster, so of course I turned to my favorite coping mechanism-writing and storytelling. Talking about what Im going through while ...

AIM: The etiopathogenesis of non-syndromic biliary atresia (BA) is obscure. The primary aim was to investigate intra-hepatic bile duct cilia (IHBC) in BA at the diagnosis and correlation with clinical outcome. The secondary aim was to analyze IHBC in routine paraffin-embedded liver biopsies using conventional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). METHODS: Surgical liver biopsies taken at the diagnosis from 22 BA infants (age range: 39 - 116 days) and from 8 children with non-BA chronic cholestasis (age range: 162 days -16,8 years) were evaluated for IHBC, both by immunofluorescence (IF) and by SEM ...

Adding to my list of patients is Myonique Belialba or Yuki.. Yuki is 5 months old and diagnosed with a rare congenital known as Biliary Atresia - a condition in newborn infants in which the common bile duct between the liver and the small intestine is blocked or absent. This uncommon disease affects 1 out of 20,000 infants and if unrecognized, may lead to liver failure. Her only hope now is a liver transplant in Taiwan with her mother as her donor.. She needs it in the next 3 months.. The medical procedure costs 4 Million Pesos thats why her family is appealing for hatever amount you could donate to help them raise funds.. Every cent counts ...

He is just 2-months old and was diagnosed to have Biliary Atresia and was recommended for a very delicate liver transplant. John Cyrus is the first grandchild of my Uncle, on my Mothers side. His Mother is only 18 years old and still studying and his Father is not with them. How can a jobless young solo parent sustain such huge expenses? Only my Uncle works in their family and he is just an ordinary government employee. My Uncle has three other children who are still studying.. John Cyrus was recently confined at a public hospital but they have discharged him because the family needs to raise around Php2.5 million for the operation. And if the liver transplant went successful, they would be needing more funds for the monthly maintenance medicines for his liver.. When I sought the advice of another doctor, he said that the chance of a successful transplant operation is only 60%. He said, the investment is too high but it doesnt have a great percentage of survival guarantee. This is too ...

Abstract. Biliary atresia (BA) is an idiopathic, progressive, and fatal disease if untreated. Since Kasai first introduced the operation for BA in 1959, there have been encouraging results in treating this disease. Ascending cholangitis is a frequent and often recurrent complication. It may worsen the prognosis, with an increase in mortality, secondary failure of restoration of bile flow, and possible exacerbation of portal hypertension. For patients who have had restoration of bile flow with a timely portoenterostomy, the recurrence of ascending cholangitis is the single most significant variable pertaining to long-term prognosis. Patients with multiple episodes of ascending cholangitis are more likely to require liver transplantation than those without multiple recurrences. Therefore, the prevention of cholangitis is crucial in the management of patients who have had a Kasai portoenterostomy.. Some oral antibiotics, like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) and neomycin have showed the ...

Antioxidant Enzyme Activities in Hepatic Tissue from Children with Chronic Cholestatic Liver Disease  Antioxidant Enzyme Activities in Hepatic Tissue from Children with Chronic Cholestatic Liver Disease
Background/Aim: To study the oxidative stress status in children with cholestatic chronic liver disease by determining activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in liver tissue. Materials and Methods: A total of 34 children suffering from cholestatic chronic liver disease were studied. They were selected from the Hepatology Clinic, Cairo University, and compared with seven children who happened to have incidental normal liver biopsy. The patients were divided into three groups: extrahepatic biliary atresia (n=13), neonatal hepatitis (n=15) and paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts (n=6); GPx, SOD and CAT levels were measured in fresh liver tissue using ELISA. Results: In the cholestatic patients, a significant increase was found in mean levels of SOD, GPx and CAT in hepatic tissue compared to control children. The three enzymes significantly increased in the extrahepatic biliary atresia group, whereas in the groups of neonatal hepatitis and paucity of ...

Biliary atresia in association with laterality malformations - This pattern is also known as Biliary Atresia Splenic Malformation (BASM) or "embryonal" biliary atresia, and occurs 10 to 15 percent of infants with BA. The laterality malformations include situs inversus (reversal of the organs in their natural place), asplenia (no spleen) or polysplenia (multiple misshapen spleen), malrotation, interrupted inferior vena cava, and cardiac anomalies. Data suggest that children with BASM have poorer outcomes compared to those with perinatal BA. ...

The Alagille diagnosis clicked a puzzle piece in place. We may never have known if she had biliary atresia--her liver is too damaged to tell with a biopsy or during transplant at this point. But with a positive genetic test result, that mystery has been solved. We know definitively what has caused the liver failure. And we also know why were sitting around in July without the same rate of rapid decline that was happening October - February. Alagille Syndrome patients have no anticipated rhythm or pattern to their liver failure. While biliary atresia patients tend to decline steadily and/or rapidly at different times, ALGS patients can plateau, decline steadily, plateau, decline rapidly, etc all at varying times and speeds. This plateau that Brooklyn seemed to have hit this past spring was just that. And it explains why she had seemed to be declining so rapidly in the fall--because she was. She is still in liver failure and still needs a transplant, but her decline has transitioned into a period ...

Controversy remains about the role of protocol liver biopsy for symptom-free recipients and about the long-term use of low-dose steroids after pediatric liver transplantation (LT). We conducted a national cross-sectional study of pediatric recipients who underwent LT between 1987 and 2007. Liver biopsy samples were taken from 54 patients (82% of survivors) after a median posttransplant follow-up of 11 years, and they were reviewed by 2 pathologists blinded to the clinical data. Biopsy samples from 18 patients (33%) showed nearly normal histology with no inflammation, fibrosis, or steatosis. Portal inflammation was detected in 14 samples (26%), showed no correlation with anti-nuclear antibodies, and was less frequent in the 35 patients whose immunosuppression included steroids (14% versus 47% of patients not using steroids, P = 0.009). Fibrosis was present in 21 biopsy samples (39%). According to the Metavir classification, 15 were stage 1, 4 were stage 2, and 2 were stage 3. The fibrosis stage ...

I have been living at the Ronald McDonald House in Greater Cincinnati Ohio since December 26th, because my son Ethan who is 2 has been having breathing complications and I have been fighting each day to help my son get the care that he deserves. He is a 1 year Post Liver Transplant patient. His 1 year mark was February 18th. That is why I wanted to do this Miracle Blog Hop to celebrate his life and celebrate his Hero and Angel. My son was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia since at the age of two months old. My son was not born with no bile ducts and so therefore he had a kasi done which is a 4 hr surgery reconstructing his bile ducts and replacing them with artificial stints. My son needed a liver fast because he was not doing so good at the age 8 months and received his liver at the age of 15 months. My son had received a liver from a 4 year old little boy who had accidentally shot himself, because his father who was a sheriff worked long hours and did not lock his gun ...

First off in the EXTREME case that Murad Resurgence would cause an end stage liver disease for which a transplant is then the only option, there is NO WAY you will be denied one or placed lower on a transplant list because you were on Murad Resurgence. Organ transplants are strictly controlled by UNOS and the OPTN and you enter the list after passing many medical screenings and meeting a long list of requierments. Once these are met you are placed on the list according to the exact time (down to the second) that your name enters for the match process. People that are alcoholics are some times denied the chance to recieve a liver for various reasons, but the main one is basicly a matter of ethics (and legal matters). Do you give a healthy liver to a person, who had an extreme consumption of alcohol and by there own fault caused cirrhosis? Or do you give it to a person, who through no fault of their own, has biliary atresia? What garantees doctors that once this alcoholic has a new liver they will ...

When it comes to fundraising very often the simplest ideas can be very effective - and a lot of fun. Here Fia, mum to eight year old Toni, who has biliary atresia, tells how she helped her friend, Vickys fundraising this summer.. "Vicky does a lot of fundraising for CLDF. She does running and cycling events, for which people donate online, as well as cake sales at home. I think this is a great idea because not everyone has a computer to donate but we all know how to eat cake! When Vicky said she was doing Prudential Ride 100 for CLDF, I wanted to help her reach her £575 fundraising target so I approached Andy, the landlord of our local pub to see if he would provide some raffle prizes for a fundraising evening. It was Andy who suggested that we held the event at his pub! He offered us his beer garden and gazebo free of charge and said we could sell what we like. He even provided us his barbeque and a staff member to operate. He offered us a good deal on burgers, we baked our own home cookies, ...

HKU Scholars Hub: First two cases of living related liver transplantation with complicated anatomy of blood vessels in Beijing  HKU Scholars Hub: First two cases of living related liver transplantation with complicated anatomy of blood vessels in Beijing
Aim: Living related liver transplantation (LRLT) has been developed in response to the paediatric organ donor shortage. Though it has been succeeded in many centers worldwide, the safety of the donor is still a major concern, especially in donors with anatomy variation. We succeeded in performing the first two cases of living related liver transplantation with complicated anatomy of blood vessels as a way to overcome cadaveric organ shortage in Beijing. Methods: Two patients, with congenital liver fibrosis and congenital biliary atresia were performed with living donor liver transplantation in our hospital and then followed up from November 12 to December 13, 2001. The two living donors, mother and father, were healthy aged 34 and 35 years. One right lobe (segment V, VI, VII, VIII) and one left lateral lobe (segment II and III) were used. The grafts weighed 394 g and 300 g. The ratio of graff weight to the standard liver volume (SLV) of donors was 68% and 27%. The graft weight to recipient body ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Quantitative imaging in pediatric hepatobiliary disease. AU - Yoon, Haesung. AU - Shin, Hyun Joo. AU - Kim, Myung Joon. AU - Lee, Mi Jung. PY - 2019/9. Y1 - 2019/9. N2 - Pediatric hepatobiliary imaging is important for evaluation of not only congenital or structural disease but also metabolic or diffuse parenchymal disease and tumors. A variety of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can be used for these assessments. In ultrasonography, conventional ultrasound imaging as well as vascular imaging, elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography can be used, while in MRI, fat quantification, T2/T2* mapping, diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance elastography, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI can be performed. These techniques may be helpful for evaluation of biliary atresia, hepatic fibrosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, and hepatic masses in children. In this review, we discuss each tool in the context ...

Solving difficult hepatobiliary problems in children  Solving difficult hepatobiliary problems in children
MILLAR, A J W. Solving difficult hepatobiliary problems in children. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2012, vol.102, n.11, pp.872-875. ISSN 2078-5135.. Most difficult hepatobiliary (HPB) problems in infancy and childhood result from pathological anatomical/mechanical derangements; therefore, surgery on the liver and bile ducts depends on a detailed understanding of liver structure, function and repair response to injury or disease. The surgeon must be aware of the very diverse range of anatomical variations. Perhaps key to improving the outcome of paediatric HPB surgery is centralised management and associating this with a paediatric liver transplant programme, which adds expertise and, frequently, the added benefit of adult HPB surgical input to paediatric surgical care. In the United Kingdom, this has resulted in excellent measurable benefit, particularly in the management of biliary atresia, but also of choledochal cysts, portal hypertension and liver tumours. These conditions are briefly ...

Hida scan ejection fraction normal range - New Doctor Insights  Hida scan ejection fraction normal range - New Doctor Insights
Hida scan ejection fraction normal range - I have recently developed urq pain. Normal ultrasound, lab work and hida scan. Ejection fraction 98%. Pain worse after meals. Tender to touch. Nausea. See a surgeon. Cholescintigraphy for acute cholecystitis has sensitivity of 97%, specificity of 94%.[2] several investigators have found the sensitivity being consistently higher than 90% though specificity has varied from 73%- 99%, yet compared to ultrasonography, cholescintigraphy has proven to be superior. As you can see, at least 3% of the time the hida scan is wrong. You may need to find a surgeon who is willing to go in and take a look on the basis of an abnormal physical examination without undue reliance on testing. I woulddefinitely recommend a second opinion. Best wishes. The information above is from wikipedia.

The company has already granted wishes to five North Dakota children living with life-threatening medical conditions since 2006. Leighton Smith, North Dakota area manager for Alliance Pipeline, presented Make-A-Wish North Dakota representatives with its sixth $5,000 gift for the Adopt-A-Wish program Tuesday. Alliance Pipeline donated the money that will be used to underwrite one more childs wish. The child and family live in Berthold, a small town near Minot, but have not decided their wish yet. Most recently, Alliance Pipeline funded a wish for four-year-old Paityn from Valley City, who received her wish to meet the Disney Princesses and see the castles, then Walt Disney World Resort. Paityn and her family were at Alliance Pipeline to accept the check on behalf of the child whose wish will be granted. At just two months old, Paityn was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, a rare liver disease that affects newborns. She spent the next year in and out of hospital stays in Minneapolis, Minn. while her ...

Neonatal Cholestasis Caused by Hyperthyroidism : Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition  Neonatal Cholestasis Caused by Hyperthyroidism : Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition
The differential diagnosis of neonatal cholestasis is extensive; etiologies are often divided into obstructive, infectious, and metabolic causes (2). Hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism are 2 endocrinopathies associated with neonatal cholestasis. Hyperthyroidism is not typically considered a cause of neonatal conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, although to date 2 previous reports have detailed instances in which hyperthyroid infants born to mothers with Graves disease have developed cholestasis (3,4). In addition, hepatic dysfunction with cholestatic jaundice has also been reported in adults with symptomatic hyperthyroidism (5). We present a third case of neonatal cholestasis associated with hyperthyroidism and suggest that hyperthyroidism be considered a potential etiology of cholestasis and liver dysfunction in neonates.. Neonatal hyperthyroidism caused by maternal Graves disease is a transient process because of transplacental passage of maternal antibodies, which stimulate the fetal thyroid. A ...

Cholestasis - Wikipedia  Cholestasis - Wikipedia
Cholestasis is a condition where bile cannot flow from the liver to the duodenum. The two basic distinctions are an obstructive type of cholestasis where there is a mechanical blockage in the duct system that can occur from a gallstone or malignancy, and metabolic types of cholestasis which are disturbances in bile formation that can occur because of genetic defects or acquired as a side effect of many medications. Itchiness (pruritus). Pruritus is the primary symptom of cholestasis and is thought to be due to interactions of serum bile acids with opioidergic nerves. In fact, the opioid antagonist naltrexone is used to treat pruritus due to cholestasis. Jaundice. Jaundice is an uncommon occurrence in intrahepatic (metabolic) cholestasis, but is common in obstructive cholestasis. Pale stool. This symptom implies obstructive cholestasis.

Special Needs - Pulmonary Atresia (PA) | Madison Adoption Associates  Special Needs - Pulmonary Atresia (PA) | Madison Adoption Associates
Special Needs Guide. Pulmonary Atresia (PA) also known as Intact Ventricular Septum, PA/IVS: Pulmonary Atresia means the pulmonary valve hasnt formed correctly or is closed. The Pulmonary Valve allows blood to flow from the lower right chamber (right ventricle) of the heart to the lungs. Children with PA may also have an underdeveloped tricuspid valve. They may also have an underdeveloped right ventricle and abnormal blood vessels feeding the heart. Pulmonary atresia may occur with or without a ventricular septal defect (VSD). Symptoms of PA are similar to other heart defects: bluish skin, shortness of breath, trouble eating, and fatigue.. Causes: Congenital heart defects are generally caused by an error in heart development in utero. The exact cause is unknown, although could be attributed to genetic or environmental factors. Rubella or drug and alcohol use during pregnancy increase the risks that a baby will be born with CHD.. Possible complications: Children with PA are at greater risk for ...
