Background and AimData on post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) adverse events and readmission rates in liver transplantation (LT) patients remain scarce. This study determined the 30‐day procedure‐related readmission rate following ERCP in an LT cohort at an Australian tertiary academic center.MethodsAll unplanned readmissions within 30 days following ERCP in orthotopic LT patients between December 2012 and August 2021 were retrospectively identified. Demographic data, procedure variables, and readmission characteristics were also collected.ResultsForty‐five procedure‐related readmissions were identified (3.3%) from a total of 1369 ERCP procedures. This included 33 cases of cholangitis (2.4%), 7 cases of nonspecific abdominal pain (0.5%), 5 cases of mild post‐ERCP pancreatitis (0.5%), and 3 cases of bleeding (0.2%). No procedure‐related mortality was observed.ConclusionThe procedure‐related readmission rate following ERCP in this LT cohort was 3.3%, which is likely lower than comparable studies carried out on the overall population.

Ratio of aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase to total bilirubin in Wilsonian acute liver failure in children Acute liver failure (ALF) secondary to Wilson's disease (WD) is invariably fatal without emergency liver transplantation, and requires a prompt diagnosis [1]. Although reduced ceruloplasmin and elevated copper levels support a diagnosis of WD, they are less reliable in a fulminant setting [1]. Laboratory findings associated with fulminant WD include Coombs negative hemolytic anemia, low serum uric acid levels, low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and increased aspartate amino transferase (AST):alanine amino transferase (ALT) ratios [2].Yasmin and colleagues from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, report on a series of 60 children with ALF, of whom 40 had WDassociated ALF (WALF) [3]. The median AST/ALT ratio was higher in WALF than in non-WALF patients with sensitivity and specificity of 70% and 95% and a positive and negative predictive value of 96.5% and 61.3%, respectively. At a cut-off value of ≥1.85, AST/ALT ratio had a sensitivity of 77.5% and specificity of 95%. An ALP/total bilirubin ratio <4 had sensitivity and specificity of 32.5% and 100% and a positive and negative predictive value of 100% and 42.5%, respectively. The authors suggest that using these routinely available tests, patients with fulminant WD may be identified promptly, enabling emergency listing for liver transplantation for this rare but near uniformly fatal disorder.
