Article Abstract
Biliary atresia is challenging to diagnose because many of the clinical and imaging features of this condition overlap with those of other causes of cholestasis in newborns. When jaundice persists beyond 2 weeks of age, the neonate should be evaluated for cholestasis, and biliary atresia - the most common cause of neonatal cholestasis - should be considered. It is critical to diagnose biliary atresia early because failure to treat can result in hepatic fibrosis and death in less than 1 year. In this paper, we review the current diagnostic imaging methods, differential considerations and treatment options for biliary atresia.

Liver Transplantation Using a Whole-Liver Graft Donated from a Brain-Dead Donor Complicated with Rendu-Osler-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report.

Introduction: Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare autosomal dominant genetic vascular disease characterized by arteriovenous malformations, vascular wall fragility, dilatation, and rupture of the vessels with hepatic symptoms. As HHT with hepatic symptoms is recognized as the primary etiology for liver transplantation, liver transplantation with liver grafts from donors affected by HHT is extremely rare. Herein, we report a successful liver transplantation in a patient with biliary atresia who received a whole-liver graft from a young brain-dead donor with HHT.

A 3-year-old female patient, who had received a liver transplant from her father 1 year previously to treat biliary atresia, was admitted with fever and pancytopenia. History showed Epstein-Barr virus polymerase chain reaction positivity detected in the patient 3 months earlier; the patient received reduced immunosuppression in doses of tacrolimus, and valganciclovir was administered. Physical exa-mination showed lymphadenopathies at the cervical, axillary and inguinal regions with 2 × 2 cm at diameter, splenomegaly of 5 cm, and fever of 39 °C.

Background And Aims: Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe neonatal cholangiopathy characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis. We aimed to systematically investigate BA pathology using integrated multi-omics.
Methods: Multi-omics integration of BA and control livers revealed sphingolipid dysregulation.
