| dc.description.abstract | We report a 6-year-old girl who received a left-lobe live-related liver transplant for decompensated liver disease after a failed Kasai’s surgery for biliary atresia. Preoperatively, her nails were white, dystrophic, brittle with severe onycholysis, clubbing and watch-glass deformities. Nail scrapings were negative for fungus. Five months after transplantation, her nails had become near normal. There is only one such documented case in literature on reversal of nail changes in an adult. | en_US |
