What are the Treatment Options for Pediatric Liver Dysfunction?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the dysfunction:
1. Medications: Antiviral drugs for hepatitis, immunosuppressants for autoimmune hepatitis, and chelating agents for Wilson's disease. 2. Dietary Management: Special diets for metabolic disorders, such as a low-copper diet for Wilson's disease. 3. Surgery: Procedures like the Kasai procedure for biliary atresia. 4. Liver Transplant: In severe cases where other treatments are ineffective, a liver transplant may be necessary.
