Podcast: Biliary Atresia

In this episode of Kids Health Cast, Drs. Angela Kadenhe-Chiweshe and Adriana Perez discuss biliary atresia, a serious life-threatening liver disease that affects approximately one in 10,000 children. The doctors discuss the symptoms to look out for in newborns and why timely diagnosis is crucial. The panelists highlight the significance of the Kasai procedure as an intervention for improving a child's quality of life. They also provide helpful guidance to parents how they can navigate this challenging condition early in their infant's life. 

Every parent wants what’s best for their children — but in the age of the internet, it can be difficult to navigate what is actually fact-based or pure speculation.

Cut through the noise with Kids Health Cast, featuring Weill Cornell Medicine’s expert physicians and researchers discussing a wide range of health topics, providing information on the latest medical science. Finally, a podcast to help you make informed choices for your family’s health and wellness.
