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.
