Biliary Atresia
Biliary atresia is a condition of newborns in which the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the intestine are blocked or did not develop correctly, which hinders its drainage.
Warning signs: It usually manifests with jaundice that persists after the first weeks of life, pale-colored stool, and dark urine.
Why early detection matters: Recognizing these signs in time allows for a timely evaluation by the medical team.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is usually the first to detect it, and the gastroenterologist takes part in its study together with the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. If a baby has jaundice that does not go away or very pale stool, seeking medical evaluation soon is essential.
