Biliary Atresia

Gastroenterology:
Biliary atresia (BA) or extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) is a disorder
of infants in which there is an obliteration or discontinuity of the
extrahepatic (outside of the liver) biliary system, resulting in
obstruction of bile flow.

The incidence of EHBA is 1 in 10,000 to 13,000 newborns. The disorder
occurs more often in girls than boys, and 20-30% of cases area ssociated
with developmental abnormalities of the heart, digestive tract, or spleen
(polysplenia [more than one spleen] or asplenia [no spleen]) or other
abnormalities. Between 400-600 new cases of BA are encountered in the
United States every year.
Because early intervention is so important, any infant older than 14 days
with jaundice needs to be evaluated. Surgery is usually required to repair
damage or malformations to promote normal flow of bile. Liver transplant
may be required in severe cases.
