Liver fibrosis in biliary atresia. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30465125 Biliary Atresia World J Pediatr. 2018 Nov 21. doi: 10.1007/s12519-018-0203-1. [Epub ahead of print] Liver fibrosis in biliary atresia. Shen WJ1, Chen G1, Wang M1, Zheng S2. Abstract BACKGROUND: Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. Although the Kasai procedure has greatly improved the prognosis, most patients still need liver transplantation (LT) for long-term survival. The pathogenesis of BA has not been fully clarified, and liver fibrosis in BA is far beyond biliary obstructive cirrhosis.
