Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 30 years old this year. Due to work reasons, I just gave birth to a baby half a month ago. Recently, I noticed that the baby's face is becoming more and more yellow, and the stool is also golden yellow. Moreover, the baby often cries and fusses. I suspect that the jaundice is caused by biliary atresia. Could you please tell me if babies with biliary atresia will cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
Hello, babies with biliary atresia will cry. Congenital biliary atresia is a type of intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary obstruction that can lead to biliary cirrhosis, ultimately resulting in liver failure. Neonatal biliary atresia is the most common disease, jaundice that does not subside in the long term. If not treated in time, most patients will die of liver failure within a year. Surgery is the only way to treat them.
