Abstract

The long-term histological outcome after pediatric liver transplantation (OLT) is not yet fully understood. De novo autoimmune hepatitis, consisting of histological chronic hepatitis associated with autoantibody formation and allograft dysfunction, is increasingly recognized as an important complication of liver transplantation, particularly in the pediatric population. In this study, 158 asymptomatic children with 5-year graft survival underwent protocol liver biopsies (113, 135, and 64 at 1, 5, and 10 years after OLT, respectively). Histological changes we re correlated with dinical,biochemical, and serological findings. All patients received cydosporine A as primary immunosuppression with withdrawal of corticosteroids at 3 months post OLT. Normal or near-normal histology was reported in 77 of 113 (68%), 61 of 135 (45%), and 20 of 64 (31%) at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. The commonest histological abnormality was chronic hepatitis (CH), the incidence of which increased with time [25/113 (22%), 58/135 (43%), and 41/64 (64%) at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively) (P < .0001)]. The incidence of fibrosis associatedwith CH increasedwith time [13/25 (52%), 47/58 (81%), and 37/41 (91%) at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively) (P < .0...Continue Reading
