Analysis of diagnostic value of biliary atresia / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Biliary atresia is a disease characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, which is an important cause of persistent jaundice in infants, Without timely treatment, it can develop rapidly into cirrhosis, and the child will die of liver failure. Therefore, the early diagnosis of biliary atresia is particularly important. The diagnosis of biliary atresia mainly depends on intraoperative cholangiography and liver biopsy, but they have the disadvantages including invasion, complex operation and many complications, which is not conducive to the early diagnosis of biliary atresia. In comparison, some non-invasive examination methods such as laboratory examination and imaging examination have obvious advantages. In this paper, the value of various diagnostic methods of biliary atresia is analyzed, which provides new ideas for its early diagnosis.
