Funded Activity Summary

Children born with complex heart defects and only one pumping chamber can now live into adulthood with an operation called the Fontan procedure. As this operation has only existed for 40 years, the long-term expectations for these children and young adults are still unclear, and their population is growing every year. There is now evidence that they may suffer from liver and kidney failure. This project will identify the severity of liver and kidney damage in our population of Fontan patients.
