    In this Update Course Rewind session, Dr. Greg Tiao, Surgical Director of the Liver Transplantation Program at Cincinnati Children’s, discusses the critical role of MMP-7 as a biomarker in the early diagnosis of biliary atresia. With data showing that every 10-day delay in treatment worsens outcomes by 20%, early detection is essential for improving native liver survival. Key Highlights: Importance of Early Diagnosis: Performing a Kasai procedure before 45 days significantly improves patient outcomes. MMP-7 as a Biomarker: Validated in international studies, MMP-7 is proving to be a powerful diagnostic tool. Challenges in Diagnosis: Distinguishing BA from other neonatal cholestasis conditions remains complex. Global Impact: Lessons from high-incidence regions like China are helping shape best practices in North America. With the integration of MMP-7 testing, pediatric surgery is moving towards earlier diagnosis and intervention, improving the chances of avoiding liver transplant in affected infants.
