Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt(CEPS),also known as Abernethy malformation,is a rare disorder characterized by the partial or complete diversion of portal blood into systemic veins.CEPS is classified into ...
BACKGROUND Hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy are common in patients with portosystemic shunts.Surgical shunt occlusion has been standard treatment,although recently the less invasive balloon-occluded retrograd...
Fatty acid oxidation defects(FAOD)and urea cycle defects(UCD)are among the most common metabolic liver diseases.Management of these disorders is dotted with challenges as the strategies differ based on the type and se...

As a common urea-cycle disorder, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency(OTCD) disables the conversion of ammonia into non-toxic urea, and its subsequent excretion results in hyperammonemia. We reported a 28-year-old wo...
Hepatic encephalopathy(HE)is a common and serious neuropsychiatric complication of cirrhosis,acute liver failure,and porto-systemic shunting.HE largely contributes to the morbidity of patients with liver disease,sever...
