title: [Antithrombin III, protein C and protein S in children with chronic viral hepatitis B or C].
abstract: Abnormalities of blood coagulation are a major part of acute and chronic viral hepatitis. In this study antithrombin III, protein C and protein S were determined in 100 children with chronic hepatitis B or C infection (range age 3-17) according to degree of hepatic histological activity and fibrosis. There was no statistically significant correlation between levels of examined parameters in children with chronic viral hepatitis compared with those in control group and between the degree of hepatic histological activity and fibrosis and coagulation parameters.
