Objectives: Adult studies have proven ultrasound elastography as a validated measure of
liver fibrosis. The present study aimed to review the available literature on ultrasound …

Several patient and treatment related factors significantly modify outcomes of biliary atresia.
The extremely variable prognosis mandates intensive postoperative monitoring following …

Background Biliary atresia is a rapidly progressive liver disease necessitating prompt
diagnosis and surgical intervention, so it must be promptly distinguished from other …

AIM: To evaluate liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using non-invasive transient
elastography (Fibroscan) in comparison with liver biopsy for assessment of liver fibrosis in …

Objectives To prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of supersonic shear wave
elastography (SSWE) in identifying biliary atresia (BA) among infants with conjugated …

Abstract Background and Aims The natural history of gastroesophageal variceal
hemorrhage (VH) in biliary atresia (BA) is not well characterized. We analyzed risk factors …

Background Validated non-invasive examinations are necessary to monitor liver fibrosis in
children with biliary atresia (BA) after the Kasai procedure. Purpose To evaluate the …

Abstract Background and Aim Mac-2 Binding Protein Glycosylation Isomer (M2BPGi) is a
novel fibrosis marker. We examined the ability of M2BPGi to predict liver fibrosis in patients …

To explore an effective noninvasive tool for monitoring liver fibrosis of children with biliary
atresia (BA) is important but evidences are limited. This study is to investigate the predictive …

Background The prognosis of patients with biliary atresia (BA) after Kasai portoenterostomy
(KPE) varies, and precisely predicting the outcomes of KPE before surgery is still …
