European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) position paper on screening, diagnosis and investigation of paediatric metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common reason for elevated liver enzymes in children in Europe, affecting more than 5% of all children. Since the last iteration of this position paper, there have been substantial advances in our understanding of the disease.

Augmentation therapy with human alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor reduces exacerbations in patient with bronchiectasis and alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is a rare cause of noncystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis. The benefits of augmentation therapy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary emphysema are well established.

Inter‐tissue relationships of gene expression in liver, muscle and adipose tissue of children with end‐stage chronic liver disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives End‐stage chronic liver disease in children is associated with sarcopenia and aberrant adipose tissue mass. We investigated correlations between liver pathology‐associated gene pathways (fibrosis, inflammation and steatosis) and metabolic genes in muscle and adipose tissue.

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency by DNA analysis of children with liver disease

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2001
Background - Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder which is transmitted in a co-dominant, autosomal form. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency affects mainly the lungs and the liver leading, in the latter case, to neonatal cholestasis, chronic ...
