- Abstract
The diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is challenging as no single preoperative test is 100% accurate, especially for distinguishing it from other causes of neonatal cholestasis (NC). Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) elevation was reported in BA as a part of the immune-mediated inflammatory process. The use of ICAM-1 as a discriminative tool between BA and other causes of NC has never been addressed before. This study was to evaluate the diagnostic potentials of ICAM-1 in BA versus other forms of NC.
