Neonatal jaundice occurred due to various causes. Most cholestatic conditions can be classified into either as obstructive or as hepatocellular in origin. More than 90% of obstructive cholestasis are due to Biliary Atresia (BA). Due to impairment of bile formation usually hepatocellular cholestasis occurs and it indicates that hepatocytes are not functioning properly. The aim of this study was to describe the color Doppler US findings in the livers of neonates in BA with non-BA and control groups.
