Abstract
Acute liver failure has been described at initial presentation of citrullinemia type 1, but recurrent hepatic decompensations during medical treatment have not been reported. We describe 5 children developing episodes of acute liver failure, including one who required emergency liver transplantation. Our findings expand the citrullinemia type 1 phenotype and support early liver transplant referral in selected cases.
