Glow-in-the-Dark poop test could spot rare infant liver disease
NCT ID NCT07513038
First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether a safe fluorescent dye, called indocyanine green (ICG), can help diagnose biliary atresia in infants under 3 months old. The dye is injected and normally appears in the stool if the bile ducts are open. If no glow is seen in the stool, it may indicate a blockage. The goal is to provide a simpler, non-invasive way to detect this rare liver disease early.
