Abstract
Background. Hereditary liver diseases are a serious problem in all age groups. Diagnosis of the hereditary liver disor-ders in many cases turns out to be difficult, and before final diagnosis, the patient can change more than one doctor and lose time, which can lead to a worsening of the disease. Therefore, the issue of timely diagnosis of hereditary liver diseases remains relevant. The lecture discusses the issues of diagnosing hereditary diseases occurring with liver damage. Both monogenic syndromes and multifactorial diseases are reviewed. Urea cycle disorders, aminoacidopathias and organic acidurias, lysosomal storage diseases, mitochondrial and peroxisomal diseases, disorders of fatty acids β-oxidation, carbohy-drate, lipid and cholesterol metabolism disorders and other diseases are described. The article describes the syndromes of liver disorders that occur in hereditary diseases; presents the combinations of individual syndromes having diagnostic significance. The pathogenetic aspects of the development of hepatic manifestations of hereditary diseases are considered. Conclusion. Symptoms of liver damage are often in the practice of any physician. Most of them are the manifesta-tions of somatic pathology. However, certain combinations of symptoms of liver damage (syndromes) indicate heredi-tary pathology. Therefore, it is extremely important to know the main liver syndromes in specific hereditary diseases, to understand the etiopathogenesis of such disorders and to carry out proper differential diagnosis.
