Common pediatric hepatology diseases

Liver diseases can affect children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Nowadays people are very conscious. To control liver-related diseases it is very important to diagnose early. Here are some common liver diseases:

  • Neonatal jaundice: Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborns caused by high bilirubin levels in the blood. It makes the baby’s skin and eyes look yellow. Most cases are mild and go away on their own.
  • Neonatal cholestasis: Neonatal cholestasis is a liver disorder in infants that leads to reduced or blocked bile flow. It can cause jaundice, pale stools, and liver damage if not treated early.
  • Biliary atresia: A rare condition where bile ducts are blocked or absent, causing liver damage. It often requires surgery.
  • Neonatal hepatitis syndrome: Neonatal hepatitis syndrome causes liver inflammation in newborns, often due to infections or unknown reasons. It can result in jaundice and liver dysfunction.
  • TORCH infection TORCH infections are a group of infections (like Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes) that can pass from mother to baby during pregnancy, affecting liver and other organs.
  • Acute/Chronic Hepatitis Acute hepatitis is sudden liver inflammation, while chronic hepatitis lasts over six months. Both can be caused by viruses, autoimmune disorders, or toxins and may lead to liver damage.
  • Autoimmune hepatitis: Autoimmune hepatitis occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the liver. This causes liver inflammation and damage. The exact cause is unknown, but it is not contagious.
  • Drug induced hepatitis Drug-induced hepatitis is liver inflammation caused by medications, supplements, or toxins. Discontinuing the harmful substance is key to recovery and liver protection.
  • Wilson’s disease: A genetic disorder that causes copper buildup in the liver, leading to severe damage. Early treatment can prevent complications.
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) NAFLD or MASLD is a liver condition where fat accumulates in the liver without alcohol use. Linked to obesity and poor diet, it can progress to serious liver problems if ignored.
  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) NASH is a more severe form of fatty liver disease involving liver inflammation and damage. It can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if untreated.
  • Glycogen/Lipid storage disease These are inherited metabolic disorders where the liver can't properly store or break down sugar or fats. It may cause low blood sugar, liver enlargement, and growth issues.
  • Hepatoblastoma Hepatoblastoma is the most common liver cancer in children, usually diagnosed in infants and toddlers. Early detection and treatment are crucial for better outcomes.
