    Abstract:
    Care of the child with biliary atresia is a challenge for pediatric nurses. The cause of the disease is not known, and new diagnostic tests and treatment options are continually being developed. This article addresses fundamental issues specific to the care of children with biliary atresia. In order to understand the clinical manifestations and the treatment rationale, pathophysiology and theories of etiology are discussed. Nursing care of the child and issues regarding the teaching and support of the family system are addressed, with suggestions for independent reading.
