  • Title: Hepatic fibrosis and survival in biliary atresia.
    Author: Weerasooriya VS, White FV, Shepherd RW.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2004 Jan; 144(1):123-5. PubMed ID: 14722530.
    Abstract:
    In biliary atresia, progression of hepatic fibrosis before the Kasai portoenterostomy may explain why age is a major determinant of survival of the native liver. Blinded fibrosis scoring of surgical liver biopsies demonstrated that age and fibrosis correlate. Those biopsies with severe fibrosis predicted significantly worse survival.
