Question
How do you follow up a child who has undergone Kasai portoenterostomy for Extra hepatic Biliary atresia?
Answer
This child has to be followed up regularly to assess his growth, development, liver function tests, color of stools, clinical jaundice, cholangitis, developing portal hypertension and signs of liver cell failure. A 3-6 monthly followup is essential depending on how successful was the KASAI. If the prognosis appears to be poor, then counseling and arranging for liver transplant will be essential.
