Pediatric Liver Transplant
Pediatric Liver Transplant is a specialized surgery performed on children with severe liver diseases. It replaces the child's damaged liver with a healthy one from a donor. Common indications include biliary atresia, metabolic disorders, and liver failure. The transplant helps restore liver function, support growth and development, and improve long-term health. Both living and deceased donor livers may be used based on availability and patient need.
Living Donor Transplant – A parent or close relative donates part of their liver to the child; ideal due to size compatibility and planning.
Deceased Donor Transplant – A full or partial liver from a deceased donor is transplanted; selected based on urgency and matching criteria.
Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, lab tests, and imaging. Tests include liver function tests, ultrasound, CT/MRI, and sometimes liver biopsy. Genetic or metabolic testing may be required. A multidisciplinary transplant evaluation assesses surgical risks and long-term prognosis for the child.
