Tracking cholangitis after Kasai surgery for biliary atresia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tracks and treats cholangitis (a type of liver infection) in children who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia within the past year. It aims to better understand and manage this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has biliary atresia and had Kasai surgery
- Your child is diagnosed with cholangitis within one year after that surgery
- This is the first time your child has had cholangitis (not a repeat episode)
- Your child has not had cholangitis more than one year after Kasai surgery

This trial studies whether giving oral antibiotics before symptoms start can lower the chance of cholangitis (bile duct infection/inflammation) after Kasai portoenterostomy. It may help protect your child’s bile flow and reduce painful or serious infections after surgery.
This trial tests an enhanced recovery program (ERAS) to help children heal faster after surgery for two bile duct conditions: choledochal cyst and biliary atresia. The program includes steps to improve recovery, like better pain control and early eating.
This trial tests if giving umbilical cord stem cells along with a standard surgery (Kasai procedure) helps infants with biliary atresia. It aims to see if this combination can improve outcomes for babies diagnosed early.
This study tests a medicine called GCSF (helps make white blood cells) in babies who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia. It aims to see if GCSF can improve liver function and overall outcomes.
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 looks at how well people recover from acute cholangitis, a serious bile duct infection. It will create a tool to track the impact of treatment, such as drainage procedures, to help doctors improve care.
