First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 children who had bile duct reconstruction surgery to see how their liver, metabolism, and immune system change as they grow. Researchers want to understand if these changes raise the risk for adult diseases like diabetes, heart disease, or liver cirrhosis. The goal is to find early warning signs and suggest ways to prevent long-term problems.
