title: [Analysis of 145 hepatic disorders from autopsy cases of children].
abstract: A statistical analysis was made on 145 cases of hepatic disorders from 2659 autopsies in children. The results showed that hepatic disorders accounted for 5.5% (ranking fourth) of the various systemic disorders. Viral hepatitis was the most common entity (55.2%) with cirrhosis following (20.7%). Most of the hepatic disorders occurred under 1 year of age, accounting for 70.34% of total. The annual detection rate of viral hepatitis showed an increasing trend, demonstrating that hepatic disorders, especially viral hepatitis, are the major diseases that threaten the life of children.
