title: [Management of children with fatal liver diseases with reference to eventual liver transplantation].
abstract: Children suffering from alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency hepatopathies, autoimmune hepatitis and from extrahepatic biliary atresia are cared for with the aim of rendering possible a liver transplant in case of liver insufficiency. Among the laboratory parameters signalling hepatic insufficiency the increase in the indirect bilirubin as well as the decrease of cholinesterase activity and the Quick are of great importance. So far it has not been possible to generalize from the data obtained from the longitudinal examination of patients in order to predict the prognosis of severe hepatopathies.
