RESUMEN
Introdução: O Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) é pioneiro na realização de transplante hepático infantil (THI) no RS. A menor oferta de doadores falecidos tem estimulado a realização de transplante hepático (TxH) intervivos. Objetivo: Descrever os resultados do THI intervivos do programa THI-HCPA. Método: Estudo descritivo. Incluídos: receptores de TxH intervivos, 18 anos, ambos os sexos e respectivos doadores, voluntários, ambos os sexos. Excluídos: insufi ciência hepática aguda. Variáveis: receptores: características clínico-demográficas, antropométricas; sorologias para Citomegalovírus (CMV) e Epstein-Barr (EBV); incidência de complicações pós-operatórias, tempo de internação, sobrevida 12 meses; doadores: características clínico-demográficas, sobrevida 12 meses. Todas as cirurgias foram realizadas pelo mesmo cirurgião e os dados, coletados prospectivamente. Estudo aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do HCPA (13-0208). Resultados: Doze TxH intervivos incluídos. Idade dos receptores: mediana=2 anos (sexo feminino:7). Espera em lista: 141,4±10,3d. Indicação de TxH: 83,3% atresia biliar. IMC normal: 100%. Child- -Pugh: C:7/12(58%). PELD: mediana=11,9a. Pré-TxH:IgG+CMV (10); IgG+EBV(4); ascite (7); peritonite bacteriana espontânea (3), hiponatremia dilucional (7); encefalopatia hepática (2); varizes esofágicas (4); hemorragia digestiva alta (3). Idade dos doadores: 31,8±8,4a. Sexo feminino=50%; 92% aparentado. Pesos receptor/doador: 19,2±8,9%. Implante do segmento hepático lateral esquerdo: 100%. Tempo de isquemia total: 1,34±0,67h. Duração da cirurgia: 5,94±2,58h. Duração da internação (receptores): 30,6 ± 25,2d. Complicações receptores: vascular (4), biliar (3), steal syndrome (1), small for size (2), sepse (1). Reintervenções cirúrgicas: 5. Tempo de permanência em UTI: mediana=9d. Primo-infecção: CMV (1), EBV (3). Rejeição celular aguda (4). Sobrevida em 1 ano: 76,7%. Tempo de internação(doadores): 8,1±4,0 d. Complicações ao doador: dor pós-operatória (80%). Conclusão: Os nossos resultados se assemelham àqueles da literatura no que se refere à incidência de complicações. A cirurgia tem se mostrado segura para o doador (AU)
Introduction: Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) is a pioneer in conducting child liver transplantation (CLT) in RS. The lower supply of deceased donors has stimulated living liver transplant (LTx). Aim: To describe the results of living CLT in the THI-HCPA program. Methods: A descriptive study that included: LTx recipients from living donor, ≤ 18 years old, both sexes and their donors, volunteers, both sexes; and excluded: acute liver failure. Variables: Receptors: clinical, demographic and anthropometric characteristics, serology for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, incidence of postoperative complications, length of stay, 12-month survival; Donors: demographic and clinical characteristics, 12-month survival. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon and the data were collected prospectively. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the HCPA (13-0208). Results: Twelve LTx from living donors were included. Age of recipients: median = 2 years (female: 7). Waiting in list: 141.4 ± 10.3 d. Indication for liver transplantation: 83.3% biliary atresia. Normal BMI: 100%. Child-Pugh C:7/12 (58%). PELD: median = 11.9a. Pre-LTx: CMV+IgG (10), EBV+IgG (4), ascites (7), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (3), dilutional hyponatremia (7), hepatic encephalopathy (2), esophageal varices (4), high gastrointestinal bleeding (3). Donor age: 31.8 ± 8.4. Female = 50%, 92% related. Receiver/giver weights: 19.2 ± 8.9%. Implantation of left lateral hepatic segment: 100%. Total ischemic time: 1.34 ± 0.67 h. Length of surgery: 5.94 ± 2.58 h. Duration of hospitalization (receivers): 30.6 ± 25.2 d. Complications in receptors: vascular (4), bile (3), steal syndrome (1), small for size (2), sepsis (1). Surgical re-interventions: 5. Time in ICU: median = 9d. Primary infection: CMV (1), EBV (3). Acute cellular rejection (4). 1-year survival: 76.7%. Length of hospital stay (donors): 8.1 ± 4.0d. Donor complications: postoperative pain (80%). Conclusion: The results resemble those of the literature regarding the incidence of complications. The surgery has been shown to be safe for the donor (AU)

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) according to pediatric RIFLE (pRIFLE) criteria and adverse outcomes in children after heart surgery. METHODS: Children undergoing heart surgery in a tertiary hospital in Southern Brazil were followed during their stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) or until death. The exposure variable was occurrence of AKI according to pRIFLE criteria which place AKI in three categories: R (risk), I (injury), and F (failure). The outcomes studied were death, length of mechanical ventilation (MV), and length of PICU stay. RESULTS: Eighty-five children were enrolled in the study. Of these, 47 (55.3 %) did not have AKI, while 22 (25.9 %), seven (8.2 %), and nine (10.6 %) were classified into pRIFLE categories R, I, and F, respectively. The incidence of death was 18.4 and 4.2 % in patients with and without AKI, respectively. Compared to children who did not develop AKI, the adjusted odds ratio for death was 1.05 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.09-11.11], 8.36 (95 % CI 1.32-52.63), and 7.85 (95 % CI 1.53-40.29) in the R, I, and F groups, respectively (p = 0.022). Duration of MV and of PICU stay were significantly higher in those children with AKI. CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of AKI according to pRIFLE criteria is associated to adverse outcomes in children after heart surgery.
