We present a practical approach to imaging in suspected biliary atresia, an inflammatory
cholangiopathy of infancy resulting in progressive fibrosis and obliteration of extrahepatic …

Biliary atresia is an aggressive liver disease of infancy and can cause death without timely
surgical intervention. Early diagnosis of biliary atresia is critical to the recovery of bile …

BACKGROUND: The overlapping features of biliary atresia (BA) and other neonatal
cholestasis with alternative causes (non-BA) have posed challenges for diagnosis. Matrix …

Background Although fibrosis is the main determinant of liver stiffness, other disease-related
factors usually disregarded in studies on liver elastography, such as inflammation and …

Early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is crucial for improving the chances of survival and
preserving the liver function of pediatric patients with BA. Herein, we performed proteomics …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the role of preoperative two-dimensional (2D) shear
wave elastography (SWE) in assessing the stages of liver fibrosis in patients with suspected …

Objective To prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasound shear wave
elastography (SWE) and hepatobiliary laboratory biomarkers for discriminating biliary …

Background Neonatal/infantile jaundice is relatively common, and most cases resolve
spontaneously. However, in the setting of unresolved neonatal cholestasis, a prompt and …

To investigate the utility of liver stiffness measurement by shear wave elastography (SWE)
and several commonly used biomarkers in differentiating biliary atresia (BA) from other …

Background Current diagnostic methods for the diagnosis of Cystic fibrosis (CF)-associated
liver disease (CFLD) are non-specific and assessment of disease progression is difficult …
