Problems of diagnosis of liver fibrosis at children: diagnostic accuracy of elastometry at children with chronic viral hepatitis B and C
Abstract
In this research we have evaluated a liver fibrosis degree at patients with chronic viral hepatitis by means of two different methods: liver puncture biopsy and fibroscanning. It is established that there are some objective difficulties in carrying out and assessing results of the elastometry at children. This method definitely underestimates the fibrosis degree. Now, the liver biopsy is noted to be the most reliable way of assessing children liver fibrosis.
