Liver biopsy findings in children with liver disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks back at liver biopsy results from children under 18 to understand what types of liver diseases are common and how biopsies help diagnose them. It may help improve care for children with liver problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be under 18 years old.
- You must have had a liver biopsy between January 2019 and December 2023.
- You must have been seen at the Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology unit at Assiut University Children Hospital.

This study looks at liver tissue samples from babies with persistent jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) to see how well liver biopsy helps diagnose the cause. It may help doctors know when and how to use this test for newborns.
This study tests if non-invasive imaging (like ultrasound) can replace liver biopsies in children with liver disease. It may help avoid the need for a needle biopsy in the future.
This trial sets up a long-term collection of medical information and samples from children who have had a liver transplant. It helps doctors study outcomes over time and improve care for future patients.
This study looks at how common liver problems are in children with congenital heart disease. It is an observational study, meaning no treatments are given; the goal is simply to understand liver health in this group better.
This study maps how biliary atresia (a childhood blockage/problem with bile flow from the liver) progresses and changes in the body around the time of a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future care.
This study uses advanced techniques to analyze liver tissue samples from people with various liver conditions. It aims to better understand how liver diseases develop and progress, which may help improve future treatments.
