Abstract
In this cross-sectional study, serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 levels were significantly lower in infants with jaundice and parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease compared with those with confirmed biliary atresia. Serum metalloproteinase-7 may aid in excluding biliary atresia and thus may minimize invasive testing in infants with a history of parenteral nutrition.
