INTRODUCTION
- de novo “autoimmune” hepatitis is
a major problem in pediatric
liver transplantation
- appearance of autoantibodies is
associated with a wide spectrum of
clinical / histological features
AIM OF THE STUDY
To investigate the impact of
“autoimmune hepatitis” as longterm complication of pediatric OLT
and links with other post-operative
diseases

113 liver tx in 102 pts
• median age at tx 1.8 yrs. (0.2-17 yrs.)
