Investigating serum FGF19 levels for predicting outcomes in biliary atresia

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the prognostic value of preoperative serum FGF19 levels in children diagnosed with biliary atresia. The research focuses on children who have undergone Kasai portoenterostomy, a common treatment for this condition, to determine if FGF19 can serve as an effective predictive indicator for post-surgical outcomes. By analyzing a large sample from the Children's Hospital of Fudan University, the study seeks to fill the gap in preoperative predictive indicators that can guide treatment decisions. The findings could potentially lead to improved management strategies for affected children.
