Abstract

Background/aims: Clinical and laboratory predictors of recovery in children with fulminant hepatic failure are limited. Recently, hypophosphatemia has been reported as a laboratory indicator of recovering liver function in children with fulminant hepatic failure . We aimed to determine the incidence of hypophosphatemia and its association with clinical outcome in children in our center with fulminant hepatic failure. Methods: We analyzed 21 children who had been diagnosed with fulminant hepatic failure. Laboratory findings were recorded from admission date until the patient spontaneously recovered, underwent orthotopic liver transplantation or died. Results: Eight patients (38%) died, 6 (28.6%) underwent orthotopic liver transplantation, and 7 (33.3%) recovered without orthotopic liver transplantation. We identified hypophosphatemia in 57.1% of children with fulminant hepatic failure. Serum phosphorus levels were significantly lower in patients who recovered than in the orthotopic liver transplantation+death group. The presence of encephalopathy was determined at a much lower rate in the recovery group than in the orthotopic liver transplantation+death group. Serum phosphorus concentration ≥2.9 mg/dl and presence of encephalopathy were identified as independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusions: Hypophosphatemia can be identified as a marker of recovery in children with fulminant hepatic failure. Presence of encephalopathy and a serum phosphorus level ≥2.9 mg/dl appear to indicate a poor prognosis in children with fulminant hepatic failure.

Özet

Amaç: Çocukluk çağı fulminan karaciğer yetmezliğinde iyileşmeyi gösteren klinik ve laboratuvar belirteçleri oldukça sınırlıdır. Son zamanlarda, fulminan karaciğer yetmezliği olan çocuklarda başlangıçta hipofosfatemi varlığının karaciğer fonksiyonlarında düzelmenin göstergesi olduğu bildirilmektedir. Merkezimizde fulminan karaciğer yetmezliği olan çocuklarda hipofosfatemi sıklığını ve klinik sonuç ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Fulminan karaciğer yetmezliği tanısı almış 21 çocuğun dosyaları incelendi. Klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları hastanın geliş tarihinden itibaren spontan düzelme, ölüm ya da transplantasyon yapılana dek kaydedildi. Bulgular: Sekiz vaka (38%) ölmüştü, 6'sı (28.6%) transplantasyon'a ihtiyaç göstermişti ve 7'si (33.3%) spontan düzelmişti. Fulminan karaciğer yetmezliği olan çocuklarda hipofosfatemi sıklığını %57.1 olarak bulduk. Serum fosfor düzeyleri spontan düzelenlerde, transplantasyon+ölen gruba göre belirgin düşük bulundu. Ensefalopati varlığı spontan düzelen grupta, transplantasyon+ölen grubuna göre düşük bulundu. Serum fosfor düzeyinin ≥2.9 mg/dL olması ve ensefalopati varlığı mortalite için bağımsız risk faktörleri olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Fulminan karaciğer yetmezliği olan çocuklarda başlangıçta hipofosfatemi varlığı, iyileşmenin göstergesi olarak tanımlanabilir. Ensefalopati varlığı ve serum fosfor düzeyinin ≥2.9 mg/dL olması ise kötü prognoz işaretidir.
