Introduction and objectives: Differentiating biliary atresia from other causes of neonatal cholestasis is challenging, particularly when cytomegalovirus (CMV) and biliary atresia occur simultaneously.

Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive fibrosing obstructive cholangiopathy involving both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary system; resulting in obstruction of bile flow and neonatal jaundice.

Early Living Donor Liver Transplant Is Associated With Improved Graft- and Patient-Survival Outcomes in Children With Biliary Atresia. [PDF]
A proactive approach to living donor liver transplant in children with biliary atresia is associated with improved long‐term graft and patient survival. Low PELD living donor transplant should be considered to increase early transplant access for children with biliary atresia. ABSTRACT Introduction Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common indication for

Natural history of liver disease in a large international cohort of children with Alagille syndrome: Results from the GALA study. Abstract Background and Aims Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disorder, characterized by cholestasis. Existing outcome data are largely derived from tertiary centers, and real‐world data are lacking.

Current and emerging adjuvant therapies in biliary atresia
Following Kasai hepatic portoenterostomy (HPE), most patients with biliary atresia will eventually require liver transplantation due to progressive cirrhosis and liver failure.

Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis
Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor‐family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation has been shown to result in liver fibrosis.

Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease characterised by a biliary obstruction of unknown origin that presents in the neonatal period. It is the most frequent surgical cause of cholestatic jaundice in this age group. BA occurs in approximately 1/18,000 live births in Western Europe.

Serum bile acids as a prognostic biomarker in biliary atresia following Kasai portoenterostomy
Serum bile acid levels predict outcomes in patients with biliary atresia who achieve normalized bilirubin levels after Kasai portoenterostomy. Abstract Background and Aims In biliary atresia, serum bilirubin is commonly used to predict outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy (KP).
