Question
Why do children get biliary atresia?
Answer
Biliary atresia primarily occurs due to the abnormal excretion of bilirubin into the intestines, causing the accumulation of bilirubin in the body. If not treated promptly, symptoms such as yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes, fever, nausea, and vomiting may occur without pain. The accumulation of bilirubin in the body is caused by its excretion into the intestines, and if the examination is clear, timely intervention is required. Early surgery for diagnosis is recommended for confirmed cases.
