What do Transplant Hepatology Pediatricians do?
Transplant hepatology pediatricians care for children with end-stage liver disease by managing their health both before and after a liver transplant.
This includes diagnosing and treating a wide range of liver conditions, performing complex pre-transplant evaluations, and directing the long-term post-transplant care, including managing immunosuppression medication to prevent rejection.
They evaluate patients for the transplant, work with a multidisciplinary team of specialists to treat their complex conditions, and provide long-term post-transplant follow-up care.
What they do
Pre-transplant care: They evaluate children to determine if a transplant is the right option and manage their health to get them ready for surgery.
Post-transplant care: They provide ongoing medical care to children after they receive a new liver, which includes monitoring them for rejection and managing the necessary medications.
Multidisciplinary team collaboration: They work with a wide range of specialists, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and social workers, to ensure the child receives comprehensive care.
Disease management: They manage a variety of complex liver diseases that infections, genetic disorders, or other conditions can cause.
Specialized care: They have expertise in pediatric liver conditions, such as liver cancer and metabolic diseases, and can provide specialized care for these conditions.
Before the transplant
Diagnosis and treatment: They diagnose and manage various liver diseases that may lead to a transplant, such as autoimmune hepatitis, biliary atresia, and genetic or metabolic liver diseases.
Transplant evaluation: They conduct thorough assessments to determine if a child is a suitable candidate for a liver transplant.
Multidisciplinary team coordination: They work as part of a large team to coordinate pre-transplant care, which includes surgeons, social workers, dietitians, and other specialists.
After the transplant
Post-transplant management: They oversee the child’s care following the surgery to ensure the new liver functions correctly and to prevent the body from rejecting it.
Immunosuppression: The medical team directs the complex regimen of immunosuppression drugs, which are essential to prevent the body from attacking the new liver.
Ongoing care: They manage any complications that arise after the transplant and monitor the child’s overall health and growth.
