First seen Apr 09, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study tests whether a safe fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help diagnose biliary atresia, a rare liver disease in infants. After injection, the dye normally appears in stool if bile ducts are open. In babies with biliary atresia, the dye should be absent. Researchers will check stool samples with a special camera to see if this simple test works. About 20 infants under 3 months with cholestasis will participate.
