UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study is to correlate the US, laboratory, and cholangiography findings in pediatric liver transplant @entity1 with @entity253 , trying to identify reliable decision-making tools for the management of these complications. Retrospective review was carried out of US results in 39 consecutive @entity1 , from 2011 to 2013, with @entity253 after LT, documented by PTC. According to US @entity384 , @entity1 were classified as: mild, moderate, and severe, and according to laboratory findings as: normal or abnormal serum bilirubin and level of serum @entity29573 . Data were correlated with PTC findings, divided in three groups: mild, moderate, and severe/occlusive @entity10792 . There was no statistically significant correlation between the US findings and the laboratory findings and between US findings with PTC. There was a statistically significant correlation between @entity29573 and cholangiography. In our series, abnormal US could not predict the severity of @entity10792 on PTC. Bilirubin results were not able to predict the US findings either. @entity29573 results demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with the severity of @entity10792 found on PTC. These findings emphasize the role of @entity29573 in the evaluation and decision of biliary interventions in pediatric liver transplant recipients.
