Results from the Phase 2 study in pediatric cholestasis were presented on the effect of odevixibat on reducing serum bile acids, and improving pruritus and sleep measures in a subset of patients with Alagille syndrome, as well as the effect of odevixibat on reducing serum bile acids and improving pruritus in a small subset of patients with biliary
atresia. A case study compared the effect of odevixibat on serum bile acids and pruritus in a patient who subsequently underwent biliary diversion surgery.
Esophageal
atresia combined with transposition of the great arteries is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to get an accurate prenatal diagnosis (1-3).

Baby Adelaide Callanta, born on August 28, 2016, to Josephine Callanta (35) and Gerard Callanta (41) developed Biliary

Objective: To evaluate the role of Hepatobiliary scintigraphy and bilirubin profile in early diagnosis of biliary
atresia in children with persistent neonatal jaundice in resource constrained settings.
In neonatal hepatitis and biliary
atresia inflammation of bile ducts soon after birth results in obstructive jaundice, and presents with elevated concentrations of conjugated bilirubin.
Eden-Olive Gee was born with a condition known as oesophageal
