Hello everyone, may i know when will the jaundice resolve after the surgery done? I’m very concerned about my lil bby, she just turning 3

Months old, before this her poops show a very yellowish color, but just now when she poop the color is a bit pale does this means the kasai is failed?

HI Yuie, This must be such a worrying time for you but the only people who can answer your question is the medical team. If you have already been discharged from the hospital you can always ask for your daughter to be seen by the consultant, in the meantime here is a link to our Biliary Atresis leaflet: childliverdisease.org/wp-co...

Regards - Jacquie

Hi yuie! My son had his kasai at 70 days old and right after surgery his stools had color but his bili levels kept rising. It wasn't until 2 months post kasai did his bili levels start to come down. It takes a while before you will know if the surgery has failed or not. Just remember you have a strong baby! Let me know if you have any questions. Your family are in my prayers!

Tq leef, I really hope everything going well.. hoping that she won’t need a liver transplant, since we don’t have it here.

Hello Leef, how old is your son now? My son was diagnosed 3wks ago exactly today at 10wks of age when Kasai was performed.
