Abstract: Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe hepatobiliary disease in the infantile period characterized by progressive inflammation of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct and fibrous obstruction, which leads to cholestasis and progressive liver fibrosis. Current researches mainly focus on complication and native liver survival rate after Kasai procedure of BA children, while the value of nutrition condition of BA children in the perioperative period is always ignored. This article discussed the effect of nutrition condition on complication and native liver survival rate in the perioperative period after Kasai procedure and liver transplantation of BA children. We hope that it can be helpful to the clinical treatment of BA.
