Outcome of Pediatric Liver Transplants in Patients With Less Than 10 kg of Body Weight Is Not Worse.

Objectives Liver transplant in pediatric patients with body weight 10 kg; also, we studied the factors of influence. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the outcomes of liver transplants in pediatric patients with 10 kg body weight at liver transplant and group B (n = 55) with Results Pediatric End-stage Liver Disease score was significantly higher in group B (score of 24) versus group A (score of 18). Group B had significantly higher graft-to-recipient weight ratio (2.8 in group B vs 1.7 in group A). Graft function showed no significant difference between the 2 groups. Portal vein thrombosis was seen only in group B, whereas biliary leaks were observed among 5 patients in group B and 1 patientin group A. Patient survivalrate was higherin group B (86%) than in group A (77%). Conclusions Pediatric patients weighing 10 kg. Advancements in surgical techniques and a careful monitoring for complications and timely intervention are important to facilitate these outcomes.
