Background To determine a very early predictive biomarker after hepatoportoenterostomy (HPE) for the prediction of native liver survival in biliary atresia (BA) patients. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted of BA patients in our hospital between August 2000 and April 2019. The serum t...
