“…Following HPE, up to 70% of BA patients may have prolonged transplant‐free survival if the total serum bilirubin falls below 2 mg/dL within 3 months following the HPE . Children with biliary atresia splenic malformation (BASM) may have less favorable rates of transplant‐free survival as reported in some studies, but not others …”

“…[22][23][24][25][26] The disease appears to be more common in infants of Asian or African descent, in females, and in premature infants. 27,28 In a Swedish national database 27 representing 1.2 million births and 99% of the population born between 1987 and 1997, 4 independent factors were associated with BA: low birth weight, increased maternal age, parity greater than 4, and prematurity. Other less strongly linked factors included maternal smoking, asthma, and rural residence.…”

Biliary atresia is the most common cause of end-stage liver disease in the infant and is the leading pediatric indication for liver transplantation in the United States. Earlier diagnosis (<30-45 days of life) is associated with improved outcomes following the Kasai portoenterostomy and longer survival with the native liver. However, establishing this diagnosis is problematic because of its rarity, the much more common indirect hyperbilirubinemia that occurs in the newborn period, and the schedule for routine infant health care visits in the United States. The pathogenesis of biliary atresia appears to involve immune-mediated fibro-obliteration of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary tree in most patients and defective morphogenesis of the biliary system in the remainder. The determinants of the outcome of portoenterostomy include the age at surgery, the center's experience, the pres-

The results of the present study indicate that general practitioners should pay close attention to the evaluation of infants with prolonged jaundice in Turkey. Because of frequent late diagnosis presenting with cirrhosis at admission and also because of the low organ donation rates in Turkey, living related liver transplantation is an option and is currently undergoing detailed ethical consideration.
