Aim Of The Study: We aimed to discuss our experience in management of children with extra-hepatic portal vein thrombosis (EHPVT).
Material And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 62 children with EHPVT. All patients' records were reviewed.
Background: Infection with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can progress to the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Patients with liver cirrhosis are at increased risk of complications.
Case Presentation: We report on a 13-year-old Wilson's disease patient who was referred for liver transplantation because of rapid deterioration in his hepatic condition.
Aim Of The Study: Assessment of hepatic expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in liver tissues of infants with biliary atresia (BA).
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 35 infants with BA (BA group), and 38 infants with cholestasis due to causes other than BA (non-BA group). All patients had undergone full history taking, through clinical examination, routine investigations and immunostaining of liver tissue for VEGF-A and cytokeratin 7 (CK7).
Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is a common cause of persistent neonatal cholestasis and liver transplantation in the pediatric population. Yes-associated protein (YAP) has also been shown to be necessary for development of bile ducts and adaptive responses within the gastrointestinal tract. We aimed to evaluate the YAP expression in liver tissues of infants with neonatal cholestasis as well as its diagnostic potential in the differential diagnosis of BA.

Material And Methods: The study included 50 children with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) before treatment (naïve HCV), 25 children responders to HCV treatment, 25 children non-responders to HCV treatment and 25 healthy controls. All patients and controls were subjected to GPX and MDA measurement by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in children using leukocyte esterase reagent strips and granulocyte elastase immunoassay.
Clin Exp Hepatol
December 2018
Aim Of The Study: We aimed to assess the utility and rapidity of granulocyte elastase (GE) latex immunoassay and leukocyte esterase (LE) reagent strips for the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in hepatic children with ascites.
Material And Methods: This study included 80 ascitic fluid (AF) samples from 45 patients with chronic liver diseases. They were divided into 2 groups (SBP and non-SBP groups).
