Abstract:
Children with biliary atresia generally present nutritional deficiency, and often have growth failure and neurodevelopmental impairments.Increasing evidence shows that malnutrition is not only a risk factor for growth failure and neurodevelopmental impairments in children with biliary atresia, but also a risk factor for morbidity and mortality.Nutritional support is extremely important to improve the prognosis.This article reviews the relationship between malnutrition, growth failure and neurodevelopmental impairments in children with BA, and discusses the timing and methods of nutritional support.
