Update on etiology and pathogenesis of biliary atresia.
Current pediatric reviews, 2022Biliary atresia is a rare inflammatory sclerosing obstructive cholangiopathy that initiates in infancy as complete choledochal blockage and progresses to the involvement of intrahepatic biliary epithelium.

Biliary atresia remains a serious and devastating surgical condition of early childhood. Despite portoenterostomy almost half of these children remain jaundiced and suffer repeated attacks of bacterial cholangitis or variceal haemorrhage. Recently liver transplantation offers fresh hope for these children.

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 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 (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.

The Outcome of a Centralization Program in Biliary Atresia
Annals of SurgeryObjective: Biliary atresia is a rare disease and reported outcomes of surgical management, typically a Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), vary considerably across the world. Centralization has been proposed to improve this.

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 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.

Since Kasai et al1 demonstrated convincingly that biliary atresia was a treatable, and in some instances curable condition, the approach to the jaundiced infant has changed dramatically. Efforts to identify infants with this disease were greatly accelerated as the "hands off" philosophy, predicated on the assumption that attempts to correct biliary ...
