Ten children, aged 3 to 16 years, were part of a group of 61 patients who received liver transplants at University Hospital in London, Canada between November 1982 and April 1986. All of the children received cyclosporine in combination with other agents for immunosuppression. Two children died of rejection, one child died from a lymphoma, and one child died from a hypoxic brain injury sustained during a respiratory arrest. Six children are currently alive from 4 months to 2 1/2 years following transplantation. All of the survivors have returned to a normal life style. With current surgical techniques and modern immunosuppression, hepatic transplantation has become the treatment of choice for patients with endstage irreversible liver disease. The extreme shortage of donor organs is now the major factor limiting the application of liver transplantation in children.
