Functional disorders of the biliary tract in children: issues of diagnosis and correction from the position of the Rome IV criteria

Abstract

More than 80 % of children with digestive system di­seases have various disorders of the hepatobiliary system. Given the fact that in the pediatric population, abnormalities or structural features of the bile ducts and gallbladder are being detected more often, it is recommended to differentiate dyskinesias by functional state of the biliary system — hypomotor (hypokinetic) and hypermotor (hyperkinetic). According to many authors, the most common children’s form is hypermotor (hyperkinetic) dyskinesia. Violations of synchronization in the work of the gastrointestinal tract and sphincter apparatus underlie the functional disorders of the biliary tract (FDBT) and are the cause of clinical symptoms. To date, there are general non-drug and drug-based approaches to the treatment of FDBT and algorithms recommended in Rome IV criteria. Pharmacotherapy should be aimed at relieving smooth muscle spasm and restoring motor activity of the gallbladder, as well as at normali­zing the rheological properties of the bile. Given the above relevance of therapy for FDBT, our attention was attracted by the combined dietary supplement of Viador syrup. The aim of our study was to modify therapeutic approaches to the correction of the functional pathology of the biliary tract and the feasibility of using the combined Viador phytopreparation in the main treatment regimens. This research confirmed the therapeutic efficacy of the combined herbal remedy Viador which has a number of useful qualities differentiating it among other herbal preparations whose effectiveness has been proven by positive clinical dynamics, additional research methods. That allows you to widely use it in the treatment of FDBT.
