Notes that in childhood the liver failure can occur faster than in adults. The main symptons are: progressive cholestasis, encephalopathy, ascites, bleeding of esophageal varices, Hepatopulmonary syndrome, malnutrition, recurrent infections, liver dysfunction, disabling itching and delayed growth and development.
