Abstract:
:Increased survival for young liver transplant recipients has greatly improved. Increasing success has led to broader indications, thereby increasing the number of potential recipients. Pediatric liver centers are developing new strategies to cope with the ever-increasing demands for suitable size appropriate grafts. UNOS is in the process of updating guidelines to regulate the sharing of organs which become available from new surgical techniques. In the future, alternative therapies, such as artificial liver assist devices and techniques of cellular transplantation and genetic modification of hepatocytes, may decrease the number of children who die while waiting for a suitable organ or even obviate the need for the liver transplantation.
