title: Current status of oxidative stress in pediatric liver transplantation.
abstract: Generation of free radicals in children after liver transplantation is multifactorial from ischemia-reperfusion injury, immunosuppression and post-transplant complications. Thus, this group is at higher risk of oxidative imbalance with molecular and clinical consequences. We discuss pathogenesis and ways of action against oxidative stress in liver transplant recipients.
