The Dirty Nappy Study for babies with liver problems
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child must be under 6 months old at the time of referral to Birmingham Liver Unit.
- Your child must have been referred to the Birmingham Liver Unit for possible liver problems (cholestasis).
- Parents or guardians must be able to understand written English and give permission for their child to take part.

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.
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.
This trial tests whether an oral medicine called N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is safe and well-tolerated in infants with biliary atresia. It looks for participants who are 4–9 months old, can eat and take medicines by mouth, and will stay in the hospital for at least 4 days.
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.
