Özet

Aim: Liver transplantation (LT) is performed for several indications in the pediatric population, including malignancy and acute hepatic failure among others. LT has become an important treatment alternative for metabolic diseases. In most pediatric transplant centers, metabolic liver disease is the second most common indication for LT after biliary atresia. Our studies aim is to compare the post-transplant outcomes of those patients with metabolic and other liver diseases in our transplant program.
