Chronic HBV- and HCV-infection in pediatric patients had already became an important social and medical problem due to increasing of its prevalence, specific latent course of these infections and forming of progression process which leads to development of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and cancer with specific influence to different indexes which shows us the decreasing of quality of life of those patients. Therefore, it is necessary to study the basic risk factors for liver fibrosis progression and ways of their diagnosis, including non-invasive ultrasound techniques, in pediatric patients with chronic HBV- and HCV-infection, as their modification may improve the influence for prognosis and clinical consequences. This article considers the changes of the main ultrasound parameters of the liver and spleen in pediatric patients with chronic HBV- and HCV-infection and ability to use US Grayscale (Y.Davoudi, 2015) for management of pediatric patients.
