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?
- 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.
