Biliary atresia

Seminars in Neonatology, 2003
Biliary atresia (BA) is a congenital obliterative cholangiopathy of unknown aetiology, affecting both the intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. Although relatively rare, BA must be excluded in any infant with conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia since the prognosis is improved by early diagnosis and prompt surgery.

Biliary Atresia

Pediatrics In Review, 1989
Biliary atresia is a pathologic entity in which there is obliteration of some portion of the extrahepatic bile ducts. In the past, occlusion of the proximal ducts (at the liver hilus) was referred to as "noncorrectable" (Fig 1). If only the distal duct is occluded (and the proximal duct is patent), the lesion was referred to as "correctable." The ...

Biliary atresia

The Lancet, 2009
Biliary atresia is a rare disease of infancy, which has changed within 30 years from being fatal to being a disorder for which effective palliative surgery or curative liver transplantation, or both, are available. Good outcomes for infants depend on early referral and timely Kasai portoenterostomy, and thus a high index of suspicion is needed for ...

Biliary Atresia

2021
Biliary Atresia (BA) affects approximately 1:20,000 babies and is the most frequent cause of surgical jaundice in children. BA presents in the first few weeks of life with pale stools and dark urine in otherwise healthy infants. It is the end result of a destructive inflammatory process of the bile ducts, with unclear origins.

Biliary atresia

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1997
Biliary atresia, a progressive obliterative process involving the bile ducts, has its onset in the newborn period. It is characterized by worsening cholestasis, hepatic fibrosis, and cirrhosis, which lead to portal hypertension and a decline in hepatic synthetic function. Untreated, the outcome is uniformly fatal.

Biliary atresia

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2012
Biliary atresia is an obliterative cholangiopathy with progressive hepatobiliary disease, starting from the perinatal period. With a frequency of 1/15-18,000 live births, biliary atresia is the commonest cause of life-threatening liver disease in infants, and fatal if untreated.

Acquired biliary atresia

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996
Three infants are described in whom acquired biliary atresia developed during the perinatal period. In two cases this was related to a spontaneous perforation of the bile duct, and in the other it probably was related to previous surgery for duodenal and ileal atresias.
