Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Yes, this is obviously bile duct atresia and Kasai procedure was performed. Well, Kasai is just temporary solution which may ptolong her life for some years till early childhood but in all cases, additional procedures are required such as liver transplant from cadaver or living donor. There is no medications or other option and only chance for normal life for her is to have transplantation from her family or relatives.
Wish you good health. Kindly regards
