Topic overview
Serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) levels can precisely differentiate biliary atresia (BA) from non-BA cholestasis. However, serum MMP-7 levels of some BA patients were within normal range or slightly elevated. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of biliary atresia with low serum MMP-7 levels.
