AB  - With recent medical advances, more patients with childhood-onset liver disease and more pediatric liver transplant recipients are surviving into adulthood, generating distinctive challenges to adult primary care providers.

This creates a critical need for successful transition of these patients into adult care, with incorporation of a formal transitional model and multidisciplinary team.
