Influence of Childhood Obesity on the Hepatobiliary System

Of the children we examined, 58 were obese and 20 had normal weight. We conducted a series of complex tests to determine their obesity and the state of the hepatobiliary system. The tests we conducted consisted of clinical, laboratory and instrumental studies. In this case, we conducted a series of biochemical analyses, determination of carbohydrates and lipids in the blood serum, and ultrasound examination of the hepatobiliary system. Studies have shown that most children with obesity have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and an increase in liver enzymes by one third, as well as changes in the colloidal composition of bile.
