Patient's question:
What is biliary atresia? Under what circumstances does biliary atresia occur? Is biliary atresia usually caused by congenital factors or acquired disease factors?Doctor's answer:
If a newborn can undergo surgery two months after birth, it is possible to achieve treatment or improvement in the baby's physical condition. Such diseases are generally caused by liver and bile duct obstruction, with bile stasis leading to damage to the liver parenchyma. In the early stages, the liver may be mildly enlarged, and after several months, it can develop into severe biliary cirrhosis. Patients need to receive timely treatment at the hospital.
