This trial tests whether a special nutritional support formula rich in medium-chain fats can help infants with biliary atresia after the Kasai procedure. It may support feeding and liver recovery during the early months after surgery.
This trial tests a new treatment using stem cells from umbilical cord blood or tissue, given to infants with biliary atresia during their Kasai surgery. The goal is to improve liver function and reduce the need for a liver transplant.
This study tests whether giving umbilical cord stem cells during early Kasai surgery (a procedure to help drain bile) improves outcomes for infants with biliary atresia. It may help your baby's liver function and overall health.
This study tests whether a medicine called NAC (an antioxidant that helps protect the liver) can be safely given to infants with biliary atresia by mouth. It aims to see if babies can tolerate it, which might eventually help their liver health.
This study follows babies under 6 months old who have early signs of liver disease (cholestasis) to better understand what causes it and how it progresses. Researchers will collect medical information over time to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study enrolls children and young adults with biliary atresia (a condition where bile can’t flow properly from the liver) to learn from their care and outcomes over scheduled visits. It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatment.
