BOLOGNA, Anselmo A; BARBICH, Mariana R; D'AGOSTINO, Daniel e ARGIBAY, Pablo F. Hepatic cell transplantation in childhood. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2011, vol.109, n.2, pp.142-149. ISSN 0325-0075.
To date, children who suffer from a certain type of illness such as hepatic failure, could benefit with a non conventional functional replacement as an alternative to liver transplantation. Deterioration and death of patients on waiting list encourage the search for alternatives methods within transplantation. Liver cell transplantation has become a potential alternative treatment whose validation as an alternative or as a bridge until the donor appears, will probably contribute to improve the quality of life and survival of the patients. The aim of this review is to describe the state of the art of hepatocyte transplantation in pediatric patients.
