Stool color card for early detection of biliary atresia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple stool card can help spot biliary atresia early in babies with jaundice. If your baby has high direct bilirubin levels, this trial may help catch the condition sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 1 and 90 days old.
- Your baby must have a high level of 'direct bilirubin' (a type of bile pigment) in the blood.
- Your baby must be able to have a liver biopsy safely (no bleeding problems).
- Your baby must not have been diagnosed with biliary atresia or another liver disease before this study.

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 at babies with possible liver problems (cholestasis) who have been referred to the Birmingham Liver Unit. Researchers want to collect information from nappy (diaper) samples to better understand these conditions.
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 study tests whether a special nutrition plan helps babies with biliary atresia recover better after Kasai surgery. It is for infants under 3 months old who are ready for surgery.
