Bowel Sounds Ep. 8: Bill Balistreri – Neonatal Cholestasis

In the next episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Dr. Jenn Lee and Dr. Peter Lu talk to Dr. Bill Balistreri about neonatal cholestasis.  Dr. Balistreri is a pioneer in the study of pediatric liver disease and a former NASPGHAN President.  We talk to him about why babies with jaundice past 2 weeks of age need further testing — and why this is an important topic for not only pediatric gastroenterologists but also for pediatricians and parents.  We review causes of cholestasis in infancy, including biliary atresia.  We also discuss his career thus far and advice for younger trainees and faculty.

As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
