Abstract: Two hundred and thirty children aged 3 to 18 years were included in the study, among them 200 were practically healthy (control group) and 30 patients aged 2 to 17 years had chronic liver diseases (study group). All patients underwent standard liver tests and two-dimensional shear wave elastography (Aixplorer device (Supersonic Imagine, France, convex sensor acting within the medium-frequency range of 1-6MHz). Ten measurements of Young modulus (Emean) were made in different segments of the right and left liver lobes with subsequent data averaging. In patients with chronic liver disease Young modulus values were significantly higher than in patients of the control group (Emean median was 7.05kPa and 5.00 kPa, interquartile range was 6.40-9-18 and 4.70-5.38kPa correspondingly) (p
