In this episode, we break down biliary atresia from bilirubin metabolism basics and the differences between conjugated and direct bilirubin. We cover practical and novel screening tools for the primary care provider to ensure prompt diagnosis, as well as next steps for confirmatory diagnosis. We finally dive into the Kasai Procedure, which if done early, is a life saving procedure which can delay and even prevent liver transplantation.
