Bile Duct Obstruction Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing levels of bilirubin in the blood. The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include: Cysts of the common bile duct. Enlarged lymp nodes in the porta hepatis.

Gallstones If the gallstones have also caused blockage of the biliary ducts, other procedures may be performed, including: 1  Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): ERCP is used to examine the bile ducts using an endoscope, a flexible tube that is passed from the mouth through the stomach and into the duodenum.

Bile Duct Stones Bile duct stones are typically removed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a minimally invasive procedure that combines x-ray and upper endoscopy—an exam of the upper gastrointestinal tract, consisting of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine)—using an endoscope, which is a lighted, flexible tube, about the thickness of a finger.

Diagnostic Tests for Gallbladder Disease Imaging tests used to diagnose gallbladder problems include: 1  An ultrasound. This is the most commonly used of the diagnostic tests for gallbladder problems. 2  X-rays. An abdominal X-ray can spot gas and some types of gallstones containing calcium. 3  Computed tomography (CT) scan.

Bile Leak Your doctor will review your medical and surgical history. If a bile leak is suspected, your doctor may order an abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, Biliary scan or an ERCP (endoscopic procedure used to evaluate the bile ducts).

Management of Bile Duct Problems Treatment Overview Pancreatic cancers can cause obstruction of the bile duct just as it enters the intestine (Figure 1b). Diagnosis is usually. made radiographically. Treatment of this patient requires a multidisciplinary approach encompassing surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists for an optimal outcome.

- While many conditions cause blockages, patients often experience similar symptoms of bile duct obstruction.

Tests Used to Diagnose Gallbladder Problems The use of ultrasound testing which uses sound waves to image and make a picture of the intra-abdominal organs including the gallbladder. An abdominal X-ray, which may show evidence of gallbladder disease, such as gallstones. A computed tomography (CT) scan constructs a detailed X-ray images of the abdominal organs. A HIDA scan.

Gallbladder Disease 1 In cholecystitis, HIDA will appear in the bile ducts, but it will not enter the cystic duct or the gallbladder -- a finding that indicates obstruction. 2  If the HIDA enters the bile ducts but does not enter the small intestine, then an obstruction of the bile duct (usually due to stones or cancer) is suspected. normal result means that the gallbladder is visualized within 1 hour of the injection and the tracer is in the small intestine. GB not visualized: If the gallbladder is not visualized within 4 hours after the injection it indicates that there is either cholecystitis or cystic duct obstruction.

Bile Leak Bile leaks are usually treated by placing a temporary stent in the bile duct during an ERCP. During an ERCP your doctor places a thin, flexible tube down your esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small bowel to access the bile ducts. Your doctor will then place a stent to help improve the drainage of bile.

Biliary Duct Obstruction Overview. A biliary obstruction is a blockage of the bile ducts. The bile ducts carry bile from the liver and gallbladder through the pancreas to the small intestine (the duodenum). Bile is a dark-green or yellowish-brown fluid secreted by the liver to digest fats. Much of the bile is released directly into the small intestine, but what remains is stored in the gallbladder.

The bile duct from this point onward is known as the common bile duct or choledochus. Before emptying into the small intestine the common bile duct passes through the pancreas.

Bile Duct Tumors Most patients with bile duct tumors present with jaundice due to obstruction of the biliary tree by the tumor. Because the tumors are generally small, standard imaging studies, such as ultrasonographyand computed tomography (CT), may fail to show the lesion.

Pancreas - Carcinoma If the cause of a distal bile duct obstruction is not revealed by US and there is a high suspicion for a pancreatic or periampullary tumor, the next diagnostic test is CT. ERCP (or MRCP) is only the next step when there is a high suspicion of bile duct stones.

Digestive Diseases and ERCP Testing ERCP (short for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is a procedure used to diagnose diseases of the gallbladder, biliary system, pancreas, and liver. The test looks upstream where digestive fluid comes from -- the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas -- to where it enters the intestines.

The Properties, Production and Applications of Tin Many everyday items that we associate with tin, such as tin cans and tinfoil, are actually misnomers. Tin cans are, in fact, made from a compound referred to as tinplate, which is steel sheet metal that has been coated with a thin layer of tin. Tinplate efficiently combines the strength of steel with tin's luster, corrosion resistance and low toxicity.
