Abstract

During a period of 3.5 years, from March 1993 to September 1996, we prospectively evaluated the rate of percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB)complications in 192 children referred to our center. The mean age of the patients was 4.5 years (range-40 days to 14 years). There were five (2.5%) instances of COMPLICATIONs. A mild drop in hemoglobin concentration in two case, hematoma at the site of biopsy in two cases and infectious peritonitis in one case were observed. There were no fatalities nor need for laparatomy or blood transfusion in any of the case. COMPLICATIONs were not related to the age of the patients, site of biopsy (intercostal or subcostal), experience of operator or the number of passes. The results of liver biopsy were diagnostic in 93% of cases. We conclude that PLB can be performed with relative safety in INFANTS AND CHILDREN if the patients are selected properly with normal coagulation profiles. It can also be concluded that PLB can be an important diagnostic method.
