Forty‐nine ALF patients [32 adults (median age, 23 years; range, 16‐40 years) and 17 children (median age, 12 years; range, 1‐15 years)] underwent ALT between 1994 and 2004 at King's College Hospital.

Bret J. Spier, Patrick R. Pfau, Katelin R. Lorenze, Stuart J. Knechtle, Adnan Said – 29 September 2008 – Bile duct stones and casts (BDS) after liver transplantation are associated with significant morbidity. Risk factors for BDS formation and the efficacy of treatment in liver transplant recipients have not been systematically studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential risk factors for the formation of BDS in patients post–liver transplant.
