Obesity, lipid profiles and oxidative stress in children after liver transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Children after LTx had normal lipid profiles when compared to controls, however there is a tendency for hypercholesterolemia and obesity, which may play a role in cardiovascular complications in the future. Some markers of oxidative stress were increased after LTx, however further investigations are required to establish its clinical significance.
