Glow-in-the-Dark diapers could spot deadly infant liver disease

NCT ID NCT07250854

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to diagnose biliary atresia, a serious liver condition in newborns where bile ducts are blocked. Infants with jaundice will receive a safe dye (ICG) through an IV, and their diapers will be checked for a glow that shows bile is flowing. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive test can accurately tell if the bile ducts are open, helping doctors decide on surgery faster.
