Congenital atresia of biliary tract

Congenital biliary atresia is a rare severe jaundice disease in the neonatal period. It is a disease that causes obstructive jaundice in the newborn and requires surgery. Congenital atresia of the biliary tract is not a rare disease, accounting for at least half of the cases of neonatal long-term obstructive jaundice. Its incidence is about 1: 8000 to 1: 14,000 surviving born babies, but there are large differences in regions and races. There are many cases, and the incidence rate is 4-5 times higher in the Eastern nations, and the male to female ratio is 1: 2.
