Patient's question:
White stool, dark yellow urine, the entire sclera and body skin are yellow, abdomen enlargement, diagnosed with jaundice at 80 days, confirmed with bile duct obstruction at 90 days after examination. Surgery was not performed due to too many complications. How long can a baby with bile duct obstruction live?Doctor's answer:
The typical case of congenital biliary atresia involves full-term delivery, with most being normal, and normal stool color. Jaundice gradually becomes apparent 2-3 weeks after birth. In some cases, jaundice occurs in the first few days after birth and is misdiagnosed as physiological jaundice. The excrement appears brown and light yellow, then grayish-white, becoming clay-colored without the gallbladder. Later, it generally progresses to liver failure, requiring liver transplantation treatment. The specific lifespan varies greatly among individuals.
