Core Tip	Recent evidences have highlighted the im­portance of bone mineral density (BMD) in chronic liver disease including biliary atresia (BA). This study revealed that BA patients with persistent jaundice had significantly lower BMD and 25-hydroxyvitamin D than those without jaundice. Furthermore, lumbar spine BMD was correlated with hepatic dysfunction suggesting that low BMD was associated with outcome parameters reflecting the severity of cholestasis in postoperative BA patients.
