Question

The neonate has a bilirubin level of 321, and the stool is yellow. At eight days old, the neonate was initially diagnosed with biliary atresia at Harbin Children’s Hospital. How should it be handled?

Answer

Given that the child may have biliary atresia, which leads to the inability of bile to be timely excreted, it is recommended that you arrange for further examination to confirm the diagnosis. If confirmed as biliary atresia, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment.
