The aim of this review was to overview and discuss the evidence of diagnosis and treatment options for Biliary atresia (BA) in pediatric, we intended to discuss the etiological factors associated with this disease. Relevant studies were identified by a search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, for all these articles published from time of instance up to December 2016, in English language and discussing Biliary atresia (BA) in pediatric management and diagnostic approaches, containing human subjects only.Early diagnosis is plainly connected with better results for infants with biliary atresia. Outcomes after the Kasai operation in the United States could possibly be enhanced with early diagnosis. Stool color cards distributed to mothers on discharge would not just operate as a screening tool but likewise for educating primary care physicians and moms and dads, engendering awareness that there is an irregular color to infant stool. Newborn screening for conjugated hyperbilirubinemia requires additional analysis. Keywords: Biliary atresia (BA), disease, pediatric, diagnostic approaches, biliary atresia.
