Pediatric Acute Liver Failure

Catherine Larson-Nath et al.

Summary: Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a life-threatening condition characterized by coagulopathy and impaired liver function, with diverse underlying causes including infection, toxicity, immune-mediated factors, metabolic issues, and genetics. Approximately 12% of liver transplants in the United States are performed for PALF cases. Prompt referral to a pediatric liver transplant center is essential when PALF is suspected.

Acute liver failure due to DGUOK deficiency-is liver transplantation justified?

Irena Jankowska et al.

Summary: DGUOK deficiency is a cause of hepatocerebral form of MDS, leading to liver failure and neurological deterioration. Liver transplantation may be considered in some patients, but the prognosis is generally poor.

Mitochondrial hepatopathy: Respiratory chain disorders- 'breathing in and out of the liver'

Amrit Gopan et al.

Summary: Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of a cell, are closely linked to various disorders of the liver and beyond. Dysfunctions in their structure and function can have catastrophic consequences with multiple organ involvement. While primarily classified as a hepatopathy, mitochondrial respiratory chain defects can affect various organs, and diagnosis relies on recognizing subtle clinical clues and evaluating extra-hepatic involvement. Treatment aims to manage acute metabolic crises and provide long-term care, including nutritional rehabilitation.

Study of Acute Liver Failure in Children Using Next Generation Sequencing Technology

Robert Hegarty et al.

Summary: NGS technology successfully identified specific etiologies of ALF, with variants in NBAS and mitochondrial DNA maintenance genes being the most common findings. Children with biallelic variants were younger at presentation and had a higher mortality rate. A rapid sequencing NGS workflow could aid in timely diagnosis and clinical decision making in children with ALF.
