A condition in which a baby is born with abnormally narrow or even absent bile ducts in the liver. It can cause rapid liver failure, so prompt medical attention is needed. The exact cause is unclear, but genetics and exposure to certain toxins may play a role.

- Skin or eyes turning yellow
- Unable to gain weight
- Less responsive or fewer facial expressions lately
- Intensely yellow urine
- Nausea or vomiting
- Skin Itching

Diagnostic Questions for Congenital Biliary Atresia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Has your baby's stool lightened in color since they turned one month old?
- Are your eyes or skin turning yellow?
- Is your weight gain slower than others your age?
- Have you seemed less responsive or shown fewer facial expressions lately?
- Is your urine dark yellow?
Treatment of Congenital Biliary Atresia
This condition cannot be cured. Treatment options include the Kasai procedure, which reconnects bile drainage systems from the liver to the intestines. Some patients will require a liver transplant as well. Regular follow-ups with a dietitian are advised to ensure the child grows well.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
