Chronic liver diseases in children are characterized by a progressive course and lead to fibrotic changes in the organ up to cirrhotic transformation. Therapy effectiveness and patient’s quality of life depend on timely verified diagnosis and stage of the process. Morphological examination of hepatobiopsies remains a key issue in the diagnostics of histopathological changes in the liver; however, biopsy sampling is associated with a risk of complications and does not exclude insufficiently informative biopsies. This article discusses three clinical cases of patients in whom a personalized choice of the way of biopsy sampling allowed to avoid life-threatening complications and to obtain the most informative biopsy material.
