Clinical variants of the hepatobiliary system disorders in newborns were studied depending on the etiology of the disease. We observed 41 newborns with intrauterine infections and bacterial sepsis. Against the background of these diseases, clinical diagnostic criteria for liver damage were revealed. A longitudinal (prospective) study of patients with hepatobiliary problems was performed with case follow-up during the entire period of the disease. The etiological characteristic of intrauterine infections and sepsis is given. Basing on clinical, laboratory and instrumental symptoms, it was established that in cases of liver damage as a result of intrauterine infections, hepatobiliary injuries are more often reversible due to the prevalence of degenerative processes without significant hepatocyte necrosis. Therefore, the majority of patients with intrauterine infection on the background of adequate etiological and pathogenetic therapy had a favorable outcome. In bacterial sepsis, newborns most often developed hepatic failure with a fatal outcome in 58 % of cases. Patients were diagnosed with impaired partial functions of the hepatobiliary system as a result of hepatocyte necrosis. A close statistical relationship was established between the hemorrhagic syndrome, with an increase in the activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time rates with respect to bacterial sepsis. Laboratory and instrumental indicators – an increase in the level of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, decrease in prothrombin index, hypoproteinemia, visualization of the vascular system of the liver, increased density of the parenchyma according to the ultrasound data were in moderate correlation with bacterial sepsis. Key words: newborn children, intrauterine infection, sepsis, hepatobiliary pathology, liver. |
