Copyright policy )A study on cholangitis after hepatic portoenterostomy for biliary atresia.
To investigate the clinical manifestations and factors relating to prognosis in biliary atresia (BA).Twenty-four cases were reviewed on clinical manifestations and bile flow after operation. All patients underwent hepatic portoenterostomy.Twenty-three cases (95%) got bile flow postoperatively. Sixteen (69%) of 23 patients had 27 episodes of cholangitis. There were significant differences (P < 0.05) in the amount and bilirubin concentration of bile flow before and after cholangitis. Cholangitis also affected the life quality of BA patients.We consider that early finding and prevention of cholangitis can improve the prognosis of BA patients.
