Blood test before surgery to predict biliary atresia outcome
This study looks at a specific pre-surgery blood marker called FGF19 (and related liver blood tests) in children with biliary atresia. The goal is to see whether the blood results before surgery can help predict how well children recover after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05852392Recruiting
Team-based care visits compared in young children
