Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the complete absence of the enzyme uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT), which is normally found in the liver. This enzyme is required for the conversion (conjugation) and subsequent excretion of bilirubin from the body. When UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity is absent, these metabolic processes are hampered and abnormally high levels of bilirubin accumulate in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Within the first few days of life, most infants with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I develop persistent yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes (jaundice). In addition, some affected individuals may develop kernicterus, a potentially life-threatening neurological condition in which toxic levels of bilirubin accumulate in the brain, causing damage to the central nervous system. Early signs of kernicterus may include lack of energy (lethargy), vomiting, fever, and/or unsatisfactory feedings. More serious signs of kernicterus may develop, including abnormal muscle rigidity, resulting in muscle spasms (dystonia) and involuntary movements of the limbs and/or entire body (athetosis). Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.
Extractions: Clinical Crigler-Najjar treated with anesthetic-free hepatocyte infusion Last Updated: 2001-10-19 9:31:58 EDT (Reuters Health) By Rossella Lorenzi FLORENCE, Italy (Reuters Health) - A team of Italian physicians has treated Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I with an infusion of donor liver cells in a procedure that required no anesthesia. Dr. Giovanni Ambrosino and colleagues announced this week that they had successfully completed the 3-hour operation at Padua's First Surgical Department on October 11th. The patient was a 10-year-old Croatian boy. Up to 16 hours of phototherapy daily is the mainstay of treatment for the condition, in which the liver does not produce bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. Liver transplantation can be effective but the number of donor organs is limited and it requires life-long immune suppression. "Our goal is to avoid a whole liver transplant. Infusion of liver cells proved to be relatively easy to accomplish," said Dr. Ambrosino, director of the University of Padua's Bioartificial Liver Program. The infusion involved 7.5 ml of hepatic cells isolated from the left lobe of a donor liver. The cells were infused over a 3-hour period via catheter inserted 2 weeks previously under local anesthetic.

Extractions: Professor of Surgery, University of Michigan Organ Transplantation Center The first auxiliary liver transplant in Michigan was performed at UMMC in July, 1994. The patient was a 10 1/2 month old infant who was born with Crigler-Najjar syndrome, a so-called inborn error of metabolism. This disease results from an abnormality in the genes of all cells including those of the liver. The liver is unable to excrete the bile that accumulates in the blood from the natural breakdown of red blood cells. With Crigler-Najjar syndrome the liver cannot form bilirubin gluconate, a necessary step for bile to be transported from the blood stream to the bile ducts and then into the intestines. If not corrected within the first year of life, the high level of bile in the blood irreversibly damages the brain, a condition called kernicterus, and eventually leads to death. With an auxiliary liver transplant the patient's own liver remains in place and another whole or partial (reduced size) liver is transplanted just beneath or adjacent to the recipient's own liver. This is advantageous to patients with some types of inborn errors of metabolism, such as Crigler-Najjar syndrome, because the function of their own livers is perfectly normal except for the single genetic defect. With an auxiliary transplant the patient is not completely dependent upon the transplanted liver and should the auxiliary transplant reject or be lost for any reason, the patient's own liver will continue to function. Another auxiliary transplant can be performed under elective rather than emergent circumstances.
