Question
How to abandon congenital biliary atresia?
Answer
Congenital biliary atresia is one of the most important digestive and surgical diseases in pediatric surgery and the most common indication for pediatric liver transplantation. The diagnosis of pediatric biliary atresia can only be treated through surgery, which may require liver transplantation, a process that requires a significant amount of human and financial resources. Whether to abandon treatment is a decision that can only be made by the parents themselves. We often say that there are many clinical manifestations of this baby’s biliary atresia, and it’s not clear how many people have abandoned treatment, but it’s estimated that over 30% of babies have experienced it. In cases where the condition is not severe, treatment can be considered. However, the treatment rate is not high, and the effectiveness is not ideal. It is recommended to communicate with the doctor and strive for early treatment as the key.
