Primary care clinicians may never encounter a child needing a liver transplant, however when it happens, they play a vital role in the journey for the child, including early recognition of the signs of hepatic failure, timely referral to a hepatologist and co-managing these children with the transplant team following the transplant. Liver transplantation in children has dramatically evolved over the past few decades into a highly successful, life-saving treatment for children with liver failure. What are some of the early signs that a child may need a transplant consideration? What can a child expect following liver transplant, and what role does the primary care clinician play in the long-term follow-up of these children? I’ll be asking these questions of my guest, Dr. Samar Ibrahim, a pediatric gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pediatric Liver Transplant”.
