How is biliary atresia diagnosed?

Patient's question:

My child is a 71-day-old son. I always find that the baby's development is not normal, and I always feel that the baby keeps moving inside the stomach. I want to ask the doctor how to confirm fetal biliary atresia?

Doctor's answer:

There are many tests for detecting fetal biliary atresia. Generally, 4D color Doppler ultrasound can perform preliminary screening for abnormalities. It is best to undergo amniocentesis. The doctor recommends taking umbilical cord blood from the fetus for liver function tests. You must go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and regular prenatal check-ups are very important. For the condition of the baby's biliary atresia, ultrasound can be performed to detect it, usually after the seventh month of pregnancy.
