Patient's question:
The other day, I visited my sister. My sister just had a baby a few days ago, but recently the child has had jaundice. The doctor said it's necessary to undergo blue light treatment to further treat the jaundice and lower the child's jaundice level. I want to ask if blue light treatment can help with biliary atresia in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I suggest you have your child undergo further examinations to determine the condition of their jaundice under a doctor's evaluation. If the symptoms indicate biliary atresia, it is recommended that you cooperate with the doctor and undergo corresponding treatment under their guidance. For cases where biliary atresia is amenable to anastomosis, a biliary-enteric anastomosis surgery can be performed. However, for cases where biliary atresia is not amenable to anastomosis, liver transplantation may be necessary for further treatment.
