Biliary Atresia

An extremely rare liver disease, biliary atresia, affects infants. After birth, it is common to find it. Bile ducts in the liver are affected by the disorder. Aside from aiding in digestion, bile also transports waste products. The liver's ability to secrete bile into the small intestine is impeded. The liver is damaged when bile cannot flow to the small intestine in children with biliary atresia. In addition, many essential bodily functions are jeopardised. If your child is diagnosed with biliary atresia, Dr MJ Human will need to operate on them. Make sure your child receives the best care by talking to Dr MJ Human about the procedure.

Liver Biopsy

A biopsy can be frightening for anyone, but it's especially so for parents with young children. The top right-hand side of the abdomen, upper right-hand side, top-right side, right-hand side, and upper right-hand side produces proteins that circulate throughout the body, and they also break down waste products so that they can be excreted in urine or faeces. When a small piece of your child's liver is taken for testing in a laboratory, it is called a liver biopsy. A liver biopsy may be recommended if a child has an abnormally large liver or abnormal blood results. Dr MJ Human is an expert paediatrician who will do an excellent job with your child.

Choledochal Cyst

An abnormality of the duct that transports bile from the liver to the gall bladder and the small intestine is known as a choledochal cyst. The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion of food. In children with choledochal cysts, bile may back up in the liver due to swelling or dilation of that duct. This can lead to liver disease or pancreas inflammation because it blocks the main duct from the pancreas gland to the intestines. Surgery is usually the only option for those suffering from this condition. Please do not be alarmed; Dr MJ Human is the best person to look after your baby.

Gallstones

Bile salts build up in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver. Bile is the name given to this digestive fluid. It aids the body's ability to break down fats. Digestive juices are released from the gallbladder when your child eats. Crystals may form in parts of the bile. Gallstones form when a crystal gets too big and sticks to the bile duct. Having gallstones can prevent the bile from being expelled from the gallbladder. This type of pain is common among children who have gallstones. The discomfort may be more apparent after eating if the child has eaten fatty or greasy foods. The child may also suffer from nausea and vomiting as a result of this. Your child's skin may have a yellow cast to it. When a child has gallstones, Dr MJ Human must remove the gallbladder. Dr MJ Human is an expert at minimally invasive surgery, so you can rest easy knowing your child is in capable hands.
