Results: Of the 30 infants investigated, 12 diagnosed as Biliary atresia(40%), 4 with Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis(13%), 3 with Premature delivery(10%), 3 with Infectious diseases(10%), 2 with Metabolic & Endocrine disorders(7%), 1 with Alagille syndrome(3%) & 5 cases are Idiopathic neonatal hepatits(17%). Conclusion: Biliary atresia is the most common entity leading to Neonatal cholestasis,It must be differentiated from other causes of cholestasis (PFIC , Infectious diseases,premature delivery, Metabolic & Endocrine disorders and Idiopathic neonatal hepatits) promptly because early surgical intervention before 2 months of age results in a better patient outcome.
