Long-term outcome of combined radiologic and surgical strategy for the management of biliary complications after pediatric liver transplantation.

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the risk factors for management failure of BC after pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) by retrospectively analyzing primary pLT performed between 1997 and 2018 (n = 620 patients).

Results: In all, 117/620 patients (19%) developed BC. The median (range) follow-up was 9 (1.

Outcomes of 38 patients with PFIC3: Impact of genotype and of response to ursodeoxycholic acid therapy.

Background & Aims: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is a rare liver disease caused by biallelic variations in . Data reporting on the impact of genotype and of response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) therapy on long-term outcomes are scarce.

Methods: We retrospectively describe a cohort of 38 patients with PFIC3 with a median age at last follow-up of 19.

Initial presentation, management and follow-up data of 33 treated patients with hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 in the absence of newborn screening.

Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of phenylalanine and tyrosine catabolism due to a deficiency of fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase. HT1 has a large clinical spectrum with acute forms presenting before six months of age, subacute forms with initial symptoms occurring between age 6 and 12 months, and chronic forms after 12 months of age. Without treatment, HT1 results in the accumulation of toxic metabolites leading to liver disease, proximal tubular dysfunction, and porphyria-like neurological crises.

A Retrospective Multicentric Study of 34 Patients with Niemann-Pick Type C Disease and Early Liver Involvement in France.

Objective: To describe the clinical features and course of liver involvement in a cohort of patients with Niemann-Pick type C disease (NP-C), a severe lysosomal storage disorder.

Study Design: Patients with genetically confirmed NP-C (NPC1, n = 31; NPC2, n = 3) and liver involvement before age 6 months were retrospectively included. Clinical, laboratory test, and imaging data were collected until the last follow-up or death; available liver biopsy specimens were studied using anti-CD68 immunostaining.
