AMAÇ: Karaciğerin fibrokistik hastalıkları (KFKH); intrahepatik ve/veya ekstrahepatik biliyer anormallikler sonucunda safra kanallarında genişleme, hepatik fibrozis ve kistik oluşumlarla karakterize olan kalıtsal geçişli nadir görülen bir hastalık grubudur. Hastalar asemptomatik olabileceği gibi kolanjit, portal hipertansiyon, siroz, ele gelen kitle gibi semptomlarla başvurabilirler. Çalışmamızda; kliniğimizde takipli, KFKH olan hastaları; demografik özellikleri, klinik-laboratuvar bulguları ve son durumları ile değerlendirdik.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmamıza; Ocak 2008- Aralık 2019 yılları arasında, Çocuk Gastroenteroloji, Hepatoloji ve Beslenme polikliniğinde KFKH nedeniyle takipli olan hastalar; klinik-laboratuvar bulguları, tedavi yaklaşımları ve son durumları ile geriye dönük olarak incelendi.
BULGULAR: Toplam 39 hasta incelendi (%56.4 erkek, ortanca yaş; 5 yıl 3 ay, yaş aralığı: 1 ay-16.8 yıl). Sekiz hastada (%20.5) Caroli hastalığı (CH), 16 hastada konjenital hepatik fibrozis (KHF) (%41), 15 hastada koledok kisti tespit edilmişti. Başvuru şikayeti; en sık sarılık (n=8, %20.5), kronik karın ağrısı (n=6, %15.4) ve splenomegali (n=4, %10.3) idi. Sekiz hasta renal kist tespiti sonrası taramada (%20.5), yedi hasta intrauterin dönemde (%17.9), iki hasta ise insidental olarak tespit edilmişti (%5.1). Otozomal resesif polikistik böbrek hastalığı (ORPBH) olan altı hastada PKHD1 gen mutasyonu saptandı. On sekiz hasta opere edildi (%46.2, karaciğer nakli, sol lol segmental hepatektomi, mezokaval şant, böbrek nakli, kistektomi). 25 hastaya (%64.1) eşlik eden başka hastalıklar mevcuttu; 18’inde (%46.2) ORPBH, ikisinde metal motor retardasyon (%5.1; birinde metokromatik lökodistrofi, diğerinde Arnold Chiari malformasyonu), birer hastada (%2.6) nefrokalsinozis, juvenil nefronofitizis (böbrek nakli), akut pankreatit, pulmoner-metakarpal distal falanks hipoplazisi ve birinde medüler sünger böbrek ve pineal kist mevcuttu. Takip edilen 39 hastanın altısında portal hipertansiyon, beşinde kronik böbrek yetmezliği (%12.8), dördünde kompanse kronik karaciğer hastalığı (%10.3) ve birinde tekrarlayan kolanjit atakları (%2.6) olup CH olan bir hastaya dekompanse siroz nedeniyle karaciğer nakli yapılmıştı.
TARTIŞMA: Karaciğerin fibrokistik hastalıkları; morbiditesi ve ileri dönem komplikasyon riski yüksek olan bir hastalık olması nedeniyle erken tanı konup düzenli takip yapılmalıdır.

Objective: Fibrocystic liver disease (FLD) is a multisystemic disease that can be seen in a wide age range from intrauterine period to adolescent age. The aim of study is to evaluate the presenting symptoms, clinical-laboratory findings, treatment modality and results of the patients with FLD .
Material and Methods: The demographic features, clinical-laboratory findings, treatment modality and results of patients with FLD followed up in our clinic between January 2008 and December 2019 were recorded retrospectively.
Results: A total of 39 patients (56.4% male, median age; 53m years, age range: 10 days-16.8 years) were evaluated. Eight patients (20.5%) had Caroli’s disease (CD), 16 patients had congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) (41%), and 15 had choledochal cysts. The most common presenting symptoms were jaundice (n=8, 20.5%), chronic abdominal pain (n=6, 15.4%) and splenomegaly (n=4, 10.3%). Eight patients were detected after renal cyst detection and screening programme (20.5%), seven patients during intrauterine period (17.9%), and two patients incidentally (5.1%). PKHD1 gene mutation was deteceted in six patients with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). Eighteen patients underwent surgical operation (46.2%, liver transplantation, left lobe segmental hepatectomy, mesocaval shunt, kidney transplantation, cystectomy). 25 patients (64.1%) had extrahepatic involvement [ ARPKD (n=18), mental motor retardation (n=2, methochromatic leukodystrophy, Arnold Chiari malformation in each one), nephrocalcinosis (n=1), juvenile nephronophytosis (n=1) acute pancreatitis (n=1), pulmonary hypoplasia + metacarpal distal phalanx hypoplasia (n=1) and medullary sponge kidney+pineal cyst (n=1)]. During the follow up of 39 patients; six patients had portal hypertension, five had chronic renal failure (12.8%), four had compensated chronic liver disease (10.3%) and one had recurrent cholangitis attacks (2.6%). Two patients underwent liver transplantation due to decompensated cirrhosis, and one patient underwent kidney transplantation due to end-stage renal failure.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis, regular follow-up and treatment are important in patients with FLD because of the high risk of morbidity and complications.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
