Combined liver-kidney transplant in a 21-month-old child with type 1 primary hyperoxaluria—The perioperative challenges

Abstract

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1(PH 1) is the most common indication for a paediatric combined liver-kidney transplant. It is a technically challenging procedure. We describe the challenges in managing a 21-month-old female child weighing 7 kg for a combined liver-kidney transplant from two related living donors.
