Recent advances in understanding biliary atresia

2019-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Biliary atresia (BA) is a neonatal liver disease characterized by progressive obstruction and fibrosis of the extrahepatic biliary tree as well as fibrosis and inflammation of the liver parenchyma. Recent studies found that infants who will go on to develop BA have elevated direct bilirubin levels in the first few days of life, suggesting that the disease starts in utero . The etiology and pathogenesis of BA, howe...
