Core Tip	Infantile cholestasis is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by abnormal direct hyperbilirubinemia after the second week of life. While biliary atresia (BA), progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, and idiopathic neonatal hepatitis are among the most prevalent causes, BA specifically needs early surgical intervention to avoid cirrhosis. This makes liver biopsy a crucial procedure for timely surgical consideration. We found that there was a significant delay from the time that jaundice was noted to the time of liver biopsy in those eventually diagnosed with BA. These results demonstrate that an early diagnostic approach is prudent to avoid irreversible hepatic complications.
