Since 70% of children with biliary atresia don't live to be 20 without a liver transplant,

I would have to say no.

Surgery is the only treatment.

Biliary atresia is the most common lethal liver disease in children, occurring once every 10,000-15,000 live births. Half of all liver transplants are done for this reason.

It is possible that a viral infection is responsible for this disease, but evidence is not yet convincing. The cause remains unknown.

The persistence of jaundice beyond the second week in a newborn with clay-colored stools is a sure sign of obstruction to the flow of bile. An immediate evaluation that includes blood tests and imaging of the biliary system will confirm the diagnosis.
