Serum predictors of native liver survival post‐Kasai: Systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives After hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE), a minority of biliary atresia (BA) patients reach adolescence without liver transplantation. Several serum markers have been suggested to better predict post‐HPE outcomes in BA patients. We aimed to identify serum predictors of native liver survival (NLS) in post‐HPE BA patients.

Diagnostic dilemma of cystic biliary atresia: A series of two cases and brief review of the diagnostic modalities

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystic biliary atresia (CBA) is a rare variant of biliary atresia that closely resembles choledochal cyst (CC), complicating diagnosis and potentially delaying critical surgical intervention. We report two cases of CBA that were difficult to diagnose.

Abstract Childhood obesity is rising and leading to serious co‐morbidities, among which is metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) predisposing individuals to cirrhosis. We describe a young 11‐year‐old Hispanic male who presented with hepatopulmonary syndrome secondary to cirrhotic portal hypertension from metabolic dysfunction‐
