Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive, cholestatic disease of the liver that is marked by inflammation of the bile ducts and damage to the hepatic biliary tree. Approximately 60–70% of patients also have inflammatory bowel disease and progression of PSC can lead to ulcerative colitis and cirrhosis of the liver. Due to limited understanding of the etiology and mechanism of PSC, the only existing treatment option is orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT); however, recurrence of PSC, after OLT is estimated to be between 5% and 35%. We discuss the successful treatment of a pediatric patient, with recurrent PSC, after OLT with oral Vancomycin.

Multidrug-resistant P-glycoprotein 3 (MDR3) is a phospholipid translocator encoded by the ABCB4 gene located on chromosome 7. MDR3 mediates the translocation of phosphatidylcholine across the canalicular membrane of the hepatocyte into bile. Severe MDR3 deficiency typically occurs during childhood with progressive cholestasis evolving to cirrhosis and liver failure, requiring liver transplantation. In this article, we report 2 pediatric cases of severe MDR3 deficiency with paucity of interlobular bile ducts. Both underwent living donor liver transplantation at our center for decompensated liver disease and portal hypertension. We diagnosed severe MDR3 deficiency in both the cases with negative MDR3 immunostaining in the explanted liver. Genetic studies revealed homozygous deletion single base pair deletion in exon 24 of the ABCB4 gene in the second child. The patients are on regular follow-up after liver transplant and are doing well. Our report highlights that cholangiopathy in MDR3 deficiency can lead to ductopenia in pediatric livers.
