Pediatric Liver Disease

Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease at birth causing damage, scarring and blockage of the bile ducts. Biliary atresia (BA) is most commonly seen in full-term infants, (not in premature babies). Treatment of BA is surgical, and outcomes are better if the diagnosis and surgery occurs early, before 40 days of life. View this brief video about BA made just for parents.
