Thank you for consulting Chat Doctor I'm sorry to hear about the condition of your brothers baby. Biliary amnesia means the normal passage of bile from liver is impaired. The bile gives the normal color to the stool hence the stool is pale. The bile which cannot pass into the intestines get absorbed into blood and causes bilirubin level to rise. The liver biopsy study is done to rule out any pathological conditions affecting liver proper. The treatment of biliary amnesia is mainly surgical. Surgical correction method is decided by the level of amnesia. Please revert with further details like the complete HIDE scan report for commenting further on the mode of surgery required. Thank you.
