Pediatric liver transplant for maple syrup urine disease a single center experience
MSUD post liver transplant showed a 100% graft survival rate, and all patients and families showed satisfaction. In settings with limited deceased donor organs, living-related donor LT (even from heterozygous carriers) is a viable option for MSUD, yielding comparable metabolic control and graft outcomes to other donor types.
