Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this study was to explore common complications and their clinicopathological features in pediatric liver transplantation.Methods Clinical and pathological data of 240 liver biopsies from 168 children that conducted liver puncture from January 2015 to May 2018 in Tianjin First Central Hospital was retrospectively analyzed.We comprehensively analyzed incidence rate and pathological features of various complications,and correlations between acute rejection and C4d staining result or Banff score.Results A total of 86.67％ (208/240) liver biopsies could be definitely diagnosed with incidence rate of main complications in descending order as follows:T cell mediated rejection (TCMR) 60.57％ (126/208),drug-induced liver injury (DILI) 17.31％ (36/208),biliary complication 8.17％ (17/208),vascular complication 3.37％ (7/208),ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) 2.88％ (6/208),antibody mediated acute rejection (AMR) 1.92％ (4/208),HBV infection 1.92％ (4/208),non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) 1.44％ (3/208),chronic rejection (CR) 0.96 ％ (2/208) and HCV infection 0.48 ％ (1/208).TCMR and AMR in acute rejection (AR) accounted for 96.92％ (126/130) and 3.08％ (4/160),and into(portal-based,PB)type TCMR accounted for 96.03％(121/126) with the detectable rate of BP type subtype TCMR of 26.45％(32/121)within 30 d.There were 65.87％ (83/126)、25.40％ (32/126) 和4.76％ (6/126) of BP TCMR samples with "Banff ACR RAI" score within 3-5,6-7 and 8-9,and RAI score was negatively correlated with postoperative time (r =0.127,P =0.084).The incidence rate of central perivenulitis (CP) and portal eosinophils infiltration (PEI) in BP TCMR was 63.63％ (77/121) 和43.80％ (53/ 121),respectively,additionally,the PEI level was positively correlate with RAI score (P＜0.05).CP TCMR and AMR occurred within 30d-365 d and 8 d-180 d,respectively postoperative,while,the two CR occurred at 1095 d and 1335 d postoperative,and significant correlation was strikingly observed between rejection subtype and postoperative time (Z =9.231,P =0.026).C4d positive rate was 10％ (24/240),which was associated with Banff score and postoperative time,besides,C4d score was also correlated with rejection subtype and RAI score.The occurrence of DILI was mainly at time of ＜90 d or ＞180 d postoperative,and the detectable rate of biliary complication within 180 d postoperative was 82.35％ (14/17),IRI Appear in ＜30d.Hepatic artery complication account for nearly 57.14％ (4/7),occurrence time is ≤90 d.Occurrence of HBV infection,CMV infection and NAFLD were mainly at ＞365 d,＜90 d and ＜365 d,respectively.Conclusion There were lots of differences in clinical and pathological features among multi pediatric liver transplantation complications.Liver puncture plays an important role in rejection subtype classification and grading,as well as in non-rejection complications identification.
