Ian Kalvinskas Pediatric Liver Cancer Early Detection and Screening Act

This bill requires a GAO study to evaluate early detection methods for pediatric liver disease, including adding bilirubin measurement to newborn screening panels and assessing trends in transplant wait-list mortality. It also mandates a public education program to inform families about early signs of liver disease and the safety of living liver donation, using existing HHS resources without new funding. The law directly affects infants and children with liver conditions like biliary atresia and liver cancer, aiming to improve early intervention. Key provisions include a study on cost-effective screening and a program to educate pediatric providers and families about warning signs.
