Relationship Between PNPLA3 rs738409 Polymorphism and Decreased Kidney Function in Children With NAFLD
Giovanni Targher, Alessandro Mantovani, Anna Alisi, Antonella Mosca, Nadia Panera, Christopher D. Byrne, Valerio Nobili – 26 March 2019 – Emerging evidence suggests that patatin‐like phospholipase domain–containing protein‐3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 genotype (the major genetic variant associated with susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]) is associated with decreased kidney function in adults. Currently, it is uncertain whether this association also occurs in children/adolescents and whether any association is independent of liver disease severity.

Clinical Implications of Donor Warm and Cold Ischemia Time in Donor After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation
Flavio Paterno, James V. Guarrera, Koffi Wima, Tayyab Diwan, Madison C. Cuffy, Nadeem Anwar, E. Steve Woodle, Shimul Shah – 26 March 2019 – The use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts has been constrained by limitations in the duration of donor warm ischemia time (DWIT), donor agonal time (DAT), and cold ischemia time (CIT). The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of longer DWIT, DAT, and CIT on graft survival and other outcomes in DCD liver transplants.
The Effects of Liver Transplantation in Children With Niemann‐Pick Disease Type B
Yuan Liu, Yi Luo, Lei Xia, Bijun Qiu, Tao Zhou, Mingxuan Feng, Feng Xue, Xiaosong Chen, Longzhi Han, Jianjun Zhang, Qiang Xia – 26 March 2019 – We evaluated the effects of liver transplantation (LT) in children with Niemann‐Pick disease (NPD) type B. From October 2006 to October 2018, 7 of 1512 children who received LT at Ren Ji Hospital were diagnosed as NPD type B. The median age at diagnosis was 12 months (6‐14 months) with initial presentations of hepatosplenomegaly, growth retardation, repeated pneumonia, and diarrhea.
