ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing liver inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate clinical indications and histopathological results of percutaneus liver biopsy. Materials and

methods:

A total of 516 children who underwent blind liver biopsy were evaluated retrospectively.

Results:

Blind liver biopsy was performed for chronic active hepatitis B in 50% of the cases (n=260), neonatal cholestasis in 14% (n=68), autoimmune hepatitis in 7.7% (n=40), Wilson disease in 7.3% (n=38), isolated elevation of the liver enzymes in 5% (n=26), chronic active hepatitis C in 4.2% (n=22), metabolic disease in 3.4% (n=17), malignancies in 2.2% (n=11) and the others in 3.4% (n=17). Major complications were observed in 0.19% of the cases (n=1) and minor complications such as pain at the biopsy site in 13.5% of the cases (n=70), hypotension and tachycardia in 1.9% (n=10).

Conclusions:

Blind liver biopsy is a safe method in diagnosing liver diseases in childhood.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Objetivos:

La biopsia de hígado es el estándar de oro para evaluar la inflamación, necrosis y fibrosis del hígado. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar las indicaciones clínicas y los resultados histopatológicos de la biopsia hepática percutánea. Materiales y

métodos:

Se evaluó retrospectivamente a un total de 516 niños a los que se les realizó una biopsia hepática a ciegas.

Resultados:

Se realizó biopsia hepática a ciegas por hepatitis B crónica activa en el 50% de los casos (n = 260), colestasis neonatal en el 14% (n = 68), hepatitis autoinmune en el 7,7% (n = 40), enfermedad de Wilson en el 7,3%. % (n = 38), elevación aislada de las enzimas hepáticas en el 5% (n = 26), hepatitis C crónica activa en el 4,2% (n = 22), enfermedad metabólica en el 3,4% (n = 17), neoplasias en el 2,2% (n = 11) y los demás en un 3,4% (n = 17). Se observaron complicaciones mayores en el 0,19% de los casos (n = 1) y complicaciones menores como dolor en el sitio de la biopsia en el 13,5% de los casos (n = 70), hipotensión y taquicardia en el 1,9% (n = 10).

Conclusiones:

La biopsia hepática a ciegas es un método seguro en el diagnóstico de enfermedades hepáticas en la infancia.
