Etiology, Histo Pathology, Diagnosis And Treatment Of Biliary Atresis
Abstract
The pathogenesis of biliary atresia, a disorder of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts, is unknown. It manifests in newborns as hepatomegaly, clay-colored feces, and jaundice. The assessment and treatment of biliary atresia are demonstrated in this exercise, which also elucidates the function of the interprofessional team in enhancing patient care. Biliary atresia's genesis is unclear. Numerous hereditary and acquired etiological and causal elements are proposed by theories. Although a single etiology has not yet been identified, it is likely that a genetic component plays a role in the pathogenesis of biliary atresia given to children with the condition have an associated syndrome or another congenital abnormality, and that the condition is more common in some geographic regions. There is no evidence of an increase in the occurrence of twins, and there are very few documented familial cases.
