Stool card test for early detection of biliary atresia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple stool color card can help doctors spot biliary atresia early in babies. It aims to make diagnosis faster so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 1 and 90 days old.
- Your baby has jaundice caused by high direct bilirubin in the blood.
- Your baby can safely have a liver biopsy if needed.
- Your baby has not already been diagnosed with biliary atresia or another liver disease.

This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help doctors better diagnose biliary atresia—a rare condition where a baby's bile ducts don't form properly. The dye is used during an imaging scan to light up the bile system so doctors can see it more clearly.
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 tests if a special dye (ICG) and a camera can help doctors see blocked bile ducts in newborns with jaundice, so they can diagnose biliary atresia faster and without extra procedures.
This study looks to better understand biliary atresia by studying patient information and/or samples. It may help researchers learn why the condition happens and how to improve care.
This trial is studying children who have biliary atresia, a serious liver problem, including some who also have tetralogy of Fallot (a congenital heart condition). It also includes healthy children for comparison, and may help researchers understand the illness and treatments better.
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.
