Question

Hello, doctor, my child is only a few years old, and I always find that the baby’s development is abnormal. I always feel that the baby is moving around in the womb. I would like to ask the doctor how to diagnose fetal biliary atresia?

Answer

Hello, the diagnostic program for fetal biliary atresia is quite comprehensive. Generally speaking, four-dimensional ultrasound can be used for preliminary screening of malformations. It’s best to have an amniocentesis, and the doctor recommends taking a cord blood liver function test for the fetus. You must go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, and regular prenatal examinations are very important. The situation of baby’s biliary atresia can be detected by ultrasound, which is usually detectable after seven months of pregnancy.
