Biliary atresia is a severe pediatric liver disease characterized by progressive obstruction of the bile ducts in newborns. It is the leading cause of liver-related mortality in children, requiring early detection and intervention. The exact cause of biliary atresia remains unclear. Diagnosing biliary atresia is challenging due to overlapping features with other causes of neonatal cholestasis. However, accurate diagnosis is crucial, as untreated biliary atresia can lead to early childhood mortality. Ultrasound is the primary imaging tool for diagnosing biliary atresia. This article will discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric biliary atresia.
