Patient's question:
My 2-month-old baby has had jaundice that hasn't gone away for two months. I've tried many methods, but nothing has worked. The stools are gray like. After, I was diagnosed with congenital biliary atresia. Do babies with biliary atresia always have jaundice?Doctor's answer:
Ah! The typical case of biliary atresia is full-term delivery, most of which are normal, and the stool color is normal. Jaundice gradually appears 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 is brown and light yellow rice-colored, then grayish-white as bile-free clay. When biliary atresia occurs, the total bilirubin in the serum increases. It is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for examination.
