Although angiogenesis is an integral part of tumor progression, it has also been observed in different inflammatory, fibrotic, and ischemic diseases. Angiogenesis is a multifactorial process and its changes bring essential information about the status of complex pathology. Aim: evaluate the role of angiogenesis and endothelial dysfunction factors in Wilson-Konovalov disease (WKD) in children and adolescents. Methods: 19 children and adolescents with WKD were included in the study. VEGF-A, angiotensin (ANG), soluble receptors of VEGF-A (sVEGF-R1 и sVEGF-R2) and trombomodulin have been investigated in serum by enzyme immunoassay using special kits (BCM Diagnostics, USA). Other endothelial dysfunction markers as von Willebrand factor (vWf) was determined in blood plasma by immunoturbidimetry (Siemens, Germany), plasminogen (PLG) was investigated due to extended coagulation. Results: it was founded marked decreasing of VEGF-A and increasing concentration of sVEGF-R1, sVEGF-R2 in blood plasma of WKD children and adolescence by comparison of reference group. ANG did not change. Comparing the ratio of levels VEGF-A+ANG/sVEGF-R1+sVEGF-R2 (in children with WKD 16,7±1,9 and in reference group 23,0±1,6, р
