Abstract:
With the economic development and living standards improvement, various chronic viral liver diseases in children is decreasing year by year, and the liver diseases related to heredity, environment and living habits is increasing. Although liver disease in children is relatively rare and is not the main cause of childhood mortality, chronic liver disease cannot be ignored for its effect on children's growth and development, mental health, quality of life and the economic burden to family or society. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the early screening, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric liver diseases, in order to delay or prevent its progression efficiently.
