    Biliary atresia is a progressive inflammatory process that causes fibrosis of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, eventually leading to ductal obstruction. It presents with jaundice, lighter stools, dark urine, hepatomegaly, poor weight gain, and irritability in infants. The exact cause is unknown but is thought to involve an immune reaction to a viral infection in susceptible infants. Diagnostic evaluation includes blood tests, imaging like ultrasound and hepatobiliary scintigraphy, and potentially liver biopsy. Treatment involves bile drainage procedures, antibiotics, nutritional support including fat-soluble vitamins, and nursing management focused on family support and education.
