Question

Symptoms of Bile Duct Obstruction in a 4-Year-Old?

Answer

The typical symptoms of bile duct obstruction include the gradual onset of jaundice within 2 to 3 weeks after birth, with the color of stool changing from normal to brown, pale yellow, and eventually becoming clay-colored due to the absence of bile. In later stages of the disease, occasional pale yellow stool may be observed. The urine color is darker, which can stain diapers yellow.
