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 - WikipediaBiliary 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. Play media Initially, the symptoms of biliary atresia are indistinguishable from those of neonatal jaundice, a ...

Ultrasonographic Triangular Cord Sign and Gallbladder Abnormality in Diagnosis of Biliary AtresiaUltrasonographic Triangular Cord Sign and Gallbladder Abnormality in Diagnosis of Biliary Atresia
Introduction: Early diagnosis of biliary atresia is very important for better outcome of treatment. Ultrasonography is one of the diagnostic tools for early differentiation of biliary atresia from other causes of neonatal cholestasis. It has been reported that triangular cord sign (TACS) in sonography is a reliable sign for diagnosis of biliary atresia. The aim of this study was to re-assess the accuracy of TACS alone and coupled with an abnormal gallbladder in the diagnosis of biliary atresia. Methods: Infants with prolonged cholestatic jaundice underwent ultrasonography and liver biopsy. Results of ultrasound scans (TASC and gallbladder abnormality) were compared with histopathological findings. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of Ultrasonographic findings for diagnosis of biliary atresia based on liver histopathology were studied. Results: The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of TACS for diagnosis of biliary atresia were 36%, 95%

Biliary atresia is a fibroinflammatory obstruction of extrahepatic bile duct that leads to end-stage liver disease in children. Despite advances in understanding the pathogenesis of biliary atresia, very little is known about the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in onset and progression of the disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the entire biliary transcriptome to identify miRNAs with potential role in the pathogenesis of bile duct obstruction. By profiling the expression levels of miRNA in extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder (EHBDs) from a murine model of biliary atresia, we identified 14 miRNAs whose expression was suppressed at the times of duct obstruction and atresia (≥2 fold suppression, P | 0.05, FDR 5%). Next, we obtained 2,216 putative target genes of the 14 miRNAs using in silico target prediction algorithms. By integrating this result with a genome-wide gene expression analysis of the same tissue (≥2 fold increase, P | 0.05, FDR 5%), we identified 26 potential target genes with

Epidemiology of Biliary Atresia: A Population-based Study | American Academy of PediatricsEpidemiology of Biliary Atresia: A Population-based Study | American Academy of Pediatrics
Objective. Biliary atresia is the leading cause of extrahepatic obstructive jaundice in the newborn and is the single most frequent indication for liver transplantation in children. The cause of biliary atresia is unknown, although several mechanisms have been postulated to explain the inflammatory process that obliterates the bile ducts. Most interest has been directed toward viral infections. Information about the epidemiologic characteristics of biliary atresia in well-defined populations is lacking but is essential for developing and addressing hypotheses of causation for the disease.. Methods. Infants with biliary atresia were identified in metropolitan Atlanta from 1968 through 1993 by a population-based birth defects surveillance system that ascertains infants with serious birth defects in the first year of life using active case ascertainment. Birth prevalence rates were analyzed for spatial and temporal clustering and effects attributable to county of residence, sex, race, maternal age, ...

Biliary Atresia - a child who survived seven surgeries and a liver transplant | Childrens 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 ...

TGF-beta in the Pathogenesis of Experimental Biliary Atresia - Childrens National Health SystemTGF-beta in the Pathogenesis of Experimental Biliary Atresia - Childrens National Health System
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 AtresiaAPSA - 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. ...

DMOZ - Health: Child Health: Conditions and Diseases: Digestive Disorders: Biliary Atresia
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.

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.

She underwent numerous tests before being transferred to The Childrens Hospital at Westmead, where she was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare disease of the liver that destroys the bile ducts.. For most children diagnosed with biliary atresia, surgery is needed immediately to repair the damage caused by the condition however Aylas body managed to stabilise and her liver continued to work for another two years.. During that time the family moved to Narromine so they could be closer to medical facilities for Ayla..

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 ...

How We Help | Childrens Liver Disease Foundation
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. We are hoping that Halimas father will be able to be her live liver donor and are still awaiting for his final appointment with the consultant.I first heard about CLDF from the staff ...

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 ...

Microscopic examination of the atretic gallbladder revealed islands of mature hyaline cartilage, lymphoid aggregates and fibrosis. There was an abrupt transition between the cartilage and the adjacent stroma. Only rare case reports have documented this finding with hypothesis ranging from metaplasia occurring secondary to the associated chronic inflammation or whether it is a choristoma. These cases need to be documented to elucidate the pathways of occurrence and may lead to have a better and detailed understanding of the disease process.. Key words: Gallbladder; Hyaline cartilage; Infant; Extrahepatic biliary atresia. ...

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 ...

Types and Categories of BA - LiveR4Lili
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 ...

The registrars face was taking on a testy look. So enduring was the silence our furtive glances had developed a nystagmic quality. Galactosaemia came her peremptory reply. Right on queue the disjointed chorus of ahs and head nods did little to hide our mental whiteboard of differentials being wiped clean. At the time conjugated bilirubinaemia in children only meant one thing: biliary atresia. A fair assumption; we were sitting in one of three specialist centres in the country equipped to treat these patients. Ironically the condition has become the unwieldy yardstick I now measure the incidence of paediatric disease. Biliary atresia is the most common surgical cause of neonatal jaundice with a reported incidence of 1 in 14-16ooo live births in the West. It is described as a progressive inflammatory obliteration of the extrahapatic bile duct. And Dr Charles West, the founder of Great Ormond Street Hospital, offers an eloquent description of the presenting triad of prolonged jaundice, pale ...

Long-Term Pediatric Live-Donor Liver Transplantation Survivors: Patient and Allograft Outcomes. - ATC AbstractsLong-Term Pediatric Live-Donor Liver Transplantation Survivors: Patient and Allograft Outcomes. - ATC Abstracts
Aim: To determine the patient and allograft outcomes at 5 years after pediatric live-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).. Methods: Children with a minimum of 5-year survival post-transplantation were reviewed in terms of patient-allograft histologic characteristics, post-operative complications and immunological management. Allograft biopsies were evaluated according to presence of inflammation and fibrosis status.. Results: Between 1997 and 2016, 109 children underwent LDLT. Overall patient and graft survivals are 92% and 89% respectively. We further analyzed 48 patients with a minimum of 5-year survival. Main indications were biliary atresia (23), acute hepatic necrosis (10), metabolic diseases (2), malignant neoplasms (4) and other cholestatic diseases (9). Median recipient age was 0.7 years (range 0.03-19.08 years). The allograft types were left lateral segment (43), left lobe (3) and right lobe (2). The post-operative surgical complications were: intra-abdominal bleeding (9), portal vein ...

One-year-old twin in a coma, needs N14m for liver transplant - Punch NewspapersOne-year-old twin in a coma, needs N14m for liver transplant - Punch Newspapers
She has been on drugs for months. One of the drugs we use for her is about N1,000 per dose and she uses it every day. We have spent a lot of money. When she was taken for a checkup yesterday (Friday), it was discovered that she has lost weight. Her mum cannot work again; she has to be with her always, he said. A medical report from LUTH dated November 18, 2019 and signed by a consultant pediatrician, Dr O. F. Adeniyi, stated that abdominal scan run on Michelle revealed that hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and non-visualisation of gall bladder. The report read in part, A diagnosis of infantile cholestasis secondary to Biliary atresia was made. Patient was subsequently referred to the paediatric surgeons for kasai portoenterostotormy which was done at four months of age. However, four days post- kasai portoenterostotormy, she developed progressive abdominal distension. Abdominal radiograph done showed features of pneumoperitoneum. This necessitated a re-exploration.

Study Shows Steroids Ineffective, Possibly Harmful in Pediatric Liver DiseaseStudy Shows Steroids Ineffective, Possibly Harmful in Pediatric Liver Disease
A multicenter study concludes that treating infants with high doses of steroids fails to improve medical outcomes in the end-stage pediatric liver disease biliary atresia and leads to earlier onset of serious adverse events. Results for the study are published May 7 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

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 ...

Pink Polka Dot Scrapping: February 2012Pink Polka Dot Scrapping: February 2012
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 ...

Taken off Murad Resurgence due to Bloodwork
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 ...

How a local pub fundraiser boosted our cycling event total - Childrens Liver Disease Foundation
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, ...

The fellow began by getting the normal information; Dylans meds, background, current symptoms. He then proceeded to go over with us stats on success of the Kasai procedure and told us that Dylan may even make it until he was in his 20s before needing his transplant. Told us that his labs were great and his other symptoms seemed like they were under control. At this point I got VERY upset. We had already discused with the surgeon that Dylan had a max of 2 years before he would need one and since then Dylan has had cholangitis and his bile salts are elevated again. As far as his symptoms being under control. My husband and I itch Dylan to sleep EVERY night. He itches all day. He has scratches all over his body. He cant breath. Whether that be his asthma or lack of lung capacity is still to be determined. I know that despite every effort with albuterol, qvar, and pulmicort he still get out of breath just moving around.

  • However, many hospitals across the country, including Children's Hospital Colorado, are conducting research on the cause of biliary atresia. (childrenscolorado.org)
  • The exact cause of biliary atresia is undetermined, although it appears to be caused by an interaction of genetic factors and environmental influences. (primomedico.com)
Babies with biliary atresia3
  • In babies with biliary atresia, bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder is blocked. (medlineplus.gov)
  • In the first few weeks of life, babies with biliary atresia often seem well apart from having yellow skin and whites of the eyes. (kidshealth.org.nz)
  • The Kasai is usually the first treatment for babies with biliary atresia. (johnsoncountynewsonline.com)
Diagnose biliary atresia4
  • How do doctors diagnose biliary atresia? (nih.gov)
  • To diagnose biliary atresia, a doctor will ask about your infant's medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and order a series of tests. (nih.gov)

Diagnosis15
  • Several imaging modalities have been used in the diagnosis of biliary atresia. (medscape.com)
  • The triangular cord sign and gallbladder abnormalities are the 2 most accurate and widely accepted ultrasound characteristics currently used for the diagnosis or exclusion of biliary atresia. (medscape.com)
  • Liver biopsy is often used to confirm the diagnosis of biliary atresia and may be done at the same time as surgical or percutaneous cholangiography. (medscape.com)
  • If test results suggest that an infant is likely to have biliary atresia, the next step is surgery to confirm the diagnosis . (nih.gov)
  • However, an ultrasound cannot confirm a diagnosis of biliary atresia. (nih.gov)
  • How do doctors perform surgery to confirm the diagnosis of biliary atresia? (nih.gov)
  • What tests are used to reach a biliary atresia diagnosis? (childrenscolorado.org)
  • Making an early diagnosis of biliary atresia is important because the long-term outcome depends on the age of the initial surgery. (childrenscolorado.org)
  • If the diagnosis of biliary atresia is made too late and it already caused cirrhosis of the liver, liver transplantation is the only possible treatment. (primomedico.com)
  • Hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scans are frequently used to exclude biliary atresia, although misinterpreting these scans has been shown to delay diagnosis and subsequent surgical intervention. (medscape.com)
  • These findings would inform surgical exploration with operative cholangiography and/or pathologic examination of the bile duct remnant to confirm the diagnosis of biliary atresia. (medscape.com)
  • Biliary atresia: a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management. (pedemmorsels.com)
  • Due to the urgency in choosing either clinical treatment or immediate surgical intervention, the study of the prolonged neonatal cholestasis involves two basic aims: the differential diagnosis between biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis and the research into the associated etiological agents. (scielo.br)
  • So, in a prospective trial carried out in the 70´s, 77 children with prolonged neonatal cholestasis were studied in order to establish the differential diagnosis between biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis, followed by the evaluation of 108 children towards a pathogenesis of the prolonged neonatal cholestasis. (scielo.br)
  • The results of the differential diagnosis showed that within 18 items examined only 8 proved to be good biliary atresia indicators. (scielo.br)
Kasai5
  • The treatment for biliary atresia is a surgical operation called the Kasai procedure. (kidshealth.org.nz)
  • The initial approach to infants with biliary atresia is surgical palliation via Kasai portoenterostomy (also known as hepatoportoenterostomy), the goal of which is to restore bile flow and forestall progression of hepatic fibrosis. (medscape.com)
  • Only way of biliary atresia treatment is Kasai surgical technique. (elclinics.com)

  • Em razão da urgência de se decidir por um tratamento clínico ou por uma intervenção cirúrgica imediata, o estudo da colestase neonatal prolongada envolve dois objetivos básicos: o diagnóstico diferencial entre atresia biliar e hepatite neonatal e a pesquisa dos agentes etiológicos associados. (scielo.br)
  • Desta maneira, através de estudo prospectivo desenvolvido na década de 1970, foram avaliadas 77 crianças portadoras de colestase neonatal prolongada para estabelecer o diagnóstico diferencial entre atresia biliar e hepatite neonatal e, numa segunda fase, 108 crianças, visando esclarecer a etiopatogenia da colestase neonatal prolongada. (scielo.br)
  • O trabalho desenvolvido mostra que as 8 variáveis mais decisivas, como indicadoras diferenciais entre atresia biliar e hepatite neonatal, permanecem como índices fundamentais, auxiliando, em conjunto com novos métodos diagnósticos, na composição de uma estratégia multifatorial cada vez menos invasiva e mais precisa. (scielo.br)
  • Such work thus revealed that those eight most important factors when differentiating biliary atresia from neonatal hepatitis remain as fundamental indicators and, when employed alongside other diagnostic methods, can help in the assembling of a multifactorial strategy less and less invasive and more precise. (scielo.br)
