Question
A newborn experiences symptoms such as crying incessantly and a decrease in appetite shortly after birth and is diagnosed with Congenital Biliary Atresia Type 1. Is there a possibility of curing this condition?
Answer
Congenital Biliary Atresia is an important disease in pediatric surgery, which can usually be treated through surgery and has a generally good outcome. If a child exhibits symptoms soon after birth, parents should take them to the doctor promptly, get an accurate diagnosis, and undergo surgery as soon as possible. Although liver transplantation may be necessary, surgical treatment is typically the first choice and has a higher success rate. Parents should maintain optimism and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan.
