Liver biopsy to diagnose jaundice in babies
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how well liver biopsy helps diagnose the cause of jaundice that lasts beyond the first few weeks in babies under one year old. It may help understand why some babies have persistent jaundice and guide better treatment.
