Abstract:
Biliary atresia is an infant disease characterized by obstruction of the internal and ex-ternal bile duct and progressive fibrosing process of the liver. Its etiology and pathogenesis remains un-clear and most infants would die in one year if thereˊs no medical intervention. In this article,we reviewed recent research progress of liver fibrosis in biliary atresia in infants and animal models,which proposed some unsettled problems and research direction in the future.
