A clinical and biochemical characteristic of diseases of the biliary ducts in children from families in rural areas
With the aim to study the incidence and clinico-biochemical signs of diseases of the biliary ducts a clinico-epidemiological study was carried out using a family-based approach to children. The examination embraced 296 children (145 boys, 151 girls) of school age (scope 92.71%) and 1400 adults (scope 82.4%) in the community Atamanovo of Sukhobuzimski district of the Krasnoyarsk region (100 km north of Krasnoyarsk). The study resulted in finding a high incidence of hepatobiliary pathologies developing due to a change of the composition and ratios of biliary lipids, which increases the possibility of appearance of cholelithiasis; and a dependence between a clinico-biochemical characteristic of diseases of biliary ducts and family factors in children in the rural area
