Background Biliary atresia is a progressive obliterative cholangiopathy affecting both
extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary trees, resulting in fibrous obliteration of the biliary tract …

Objective Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive fibro-obliterative disease of the biliary tract,
which results in end-stage liver disease. However, liver fibrosis progression may continue …

Objectives To validate an appropriate evaluation method of liver fibrosis assessment based
on the unique pathological features of biliary atresia (BA) that could well predict its …
