Core Tip |
Metabolic disorders are important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Their clinical presentations are varied and include end-stage liver disease, hepatocellular cancer, renal tubular acidosis, seizures, encephalopathy, myopathy etc. Liver transplantation (LT) is a curative option in many metabolic disorders. LT is contraindicated in mitochondrial disorders with significant extrahepatic involvement. A combined liver kidney transplant is needed in disorders where the underlying defects significantly damages both the organs. The outcome of LT is excellent in metabolic disorders. Auxiliary partial orthotopic LT is an attractive option as it provides the defective enzymes keeping the native liver intact and may hold an option of withdrawing immunosuppression in case gene therapy can be offered in future. |
