Divergent expression of liver transforming growth factor superfamily cytokines after successful portoenterostomy in biliary atresia

Pathogenesis of progressive liver fibrosis in biliary atresia after successful portoenterostomy remains unclear. We related hepatic expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily cytokines to histologic liver injury after successful portoenterostomy. Enrolled in our study were 28...

Description
Summary:Pathogenesis of progressive liver fibrosis in biliary atresia after successful portoenterostomy remains unclear. We related hepatic expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily cytokines to histologic liver injury after successful portoenterostomy. Enrolled in our study were 28 patients with biliary atresia who had liver biopsies obtained during and after successful portoenterostomy, which normalized serum bilirubin (
