Abstract
Background: In recent years, liver transplants for children have become increasingly effective and low mortality rates. advances in science, surgery and neurosurgery, organ access, immunization, diagnosis and treatment of modern submissive head have resulted in improved implants and survival of the victims. Use of liver transplants and live donors have donated large organs to pediatric patients. New immune structures, as well as induction therapy, significantly affect graft and patient survival. Future developments of modern children's liver transplants will focus on long-term adherence, preventing headaches associated with the immune system, and, where possible, the promotion of daily development. This study describes recent developments in liver transplantation in children. Graft survival rates in patients aged 10 and older were 75%, 61%, 74% and 60%, respectively.
Conclusion: that the survival rate for children under one year of age or weighing less than 10 kg is usually between 65% and 80%, which was better compared 50-60%.
