Bilirubin level 1 week after hepatoportoenterostomy predicts native liver survival in biliary atresia.

CONCLUSIONS: The serum post-HPE 1-week T-bil level may predict the long-term outcome in BA patients. A post-HPE 1-week T-bil ≤4.85 mg/dL correlated with better native liver survival and jaundice-free native liver survival in BA patients. PMID: 31618755 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
