Condition: Liver Fibrosis · Pediatric Disorder · Liver Transplant; Complications · Sponsor: RenJi Hospital
Liver transplantation in children is highly successful with \>80% having 20 years survival. Most pediatric liver diseases are potentially curable with liver transplantation and it is important to establish whether children who have undergone successful transplantation can expect a normal life expectancy or whether there will be a gradual decline in liver function and eventual graft loss. The most common reasons in late graft loss in children are unexplained graft inflammation ("idiopathic" post-transplant hepatitis) and graft fibrosis. PRO-C3, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-generated neo-epitope marker of type III collagen formation, has been proved to be a marker of fibrosis in patients with NAFLD. The aim of this study is to explore the role of Fibrosis Panel(PRO-C3, PIIINP, TIMP-1, HA) in children received liver transplantation.
