Abstract

Despite the large number of works devoted to the treatment of children with viral hepatitis (VH), this issue has not yet been fully resolved. A number of authors recommend the use of glucocorticosteroids along with basic therapy [1, 6, 7]. The basis for their appointment is their characteristic anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic effect, the ability to stabilize cell membranes and stimulate the protein-synthetic function of the liver [7], positively affect fat metabolism [9] and the state of the liver RES [8], normalize redox processes [3].
