In 1977-1992 chronic inflammatory bowel disease was diagnosed in the gastroenterological department at the Clinic of Pediatrics in 31 children. Idiopathic proctocolitis was diagnosed in 16 children--mean age at the time of diagnosis was 13 years and 9 months. Fifteen children were treated for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease. Their mean age was 12 years and 9 months. During the investigation period all patients were examined regularly with special attention to hepatobiliary disease. Elevated aminotransferase values were observed in four children, three of these children have had permanent elevation of aminotransferase. Percutaneous liver biopsy revealed chronic persistent or active hepatitis. The authors investigated the course of the liver disease in relation to GIT disease. In the discussion they analyze the incidence, etiopathogenesis and type of liver lesions in inflammatory bowel disease with regard to the case-histories of their three patients.
