DOI: 10.1002/hep.30550
Abstract: In patients with biliary atresia (BA), the extent of intrahepatic biliary fibrosis negatively correlates with successful surgical bypass of the congenital cholangiopathy as well as subsequent transplant‐free survival. We recently linked the expansion of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.24640
Abstract: Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive, fibro‐obliterative disorder of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts in infancy. The majority of affected children will eventually develop end‐stage liver disease and require liver transplantation (LT). Indications for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00247-020-04959-9
Abstract: Although fibrosis is the main determinant of liver stiffness, other disease-related factors usually disregarded in studies on liver elastography, such as inflammation and cholestasis, may influence liver stiffness. To evaluate the accuracy of two-dimensional (2-D)… read more here.
