pubmed:abstractText |
Extra-hepatic biliary atresia and several other causes of neonatal liver disease carry high mortality and morbidity rates, especially if not treated early in life. Despite professional recommendations, delayed referral of infants with prolonged jaundice continues to be a significant problem. One approach to reducing the age of referral and diagnosis is population screening to detect significant conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia as an index of liver dysfunction.
