Generally, biliary atresia is a congenital condition that may present with symptoms 2 to 4 weeks after birth.
Biliary atresia is due to congenital biliary atresia or congenital choledochal cysts, which obstruct the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts and impede the excretion of bound bilirubin.
In neonates with biliary atresia, jaundice begins to appear approximately 2 to 4 weeks after birth, with persistent unremitting jaundice, increased bilirubin risk profile, progressively grayish-white stools, and significant elevation of serum-conjugated bilirubin.
For neonatal biliary atresia, early diagnosis and intervention is needed, and surgical treatment such as biliary drainage and liver transplantation should be performed as early as possible.
If you consider the symptoms of biliary atresia, you need to go to the hospital in time, according to the imaging examination, clear diagnosis and early treatment.
