Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver transplantation in children has become a routine treatment for a wide spectrum of diseases leading to acute or chronic liver failure and/or the damage of other organs and systems.
There are multiple problems associated with liver transplantation in children: surgical, immunological, complications and co-morbidities, intensive care, infectious, ethical, psychological, and other. All of them are of great importance in achieving progress and better long-term results after liver transplantation in pediatric patients.
We are preparing this Special Issue on “Long-Term Outcomes in Pediatric Liver Transplantation” and invite contributions from researchers and clinicians affiliated to pediatric liver transplantation centers—members of TransplantChild, a European Reference Network with the main goal of having a significant impact on children’s quality of life in the long term. One of the ways to achieve this is to promote research, innovation, and expertise in the field of transplantation. Authors from other centers are also invited to contribute to this Special Issue.
