Question
How should intrahepatic biliary atresia be handled?
Answer
Congenital intrahepatic biliary atresia is a condition characterized by a visibly enlarged liver. Common symptoms include jaundice and bile stasis. Treatment options include taking bile acid sequestrants or Chinese medicine to treat bile stasis and supplementing fat-soluble vitamins. For patients who have not undergone the Kasai procedure, other rescue measures can be considered. The specific treatment plan should be determined based on the patient’s individual circumstances and the doctor’s advice.
