- Bile is isosmotic with plasma and consists primarily of water and electrolytes but also organic compounds: bile salts, phospholipids (mostly lecithin), cholesterol, bilirubin, and other endogenously produced or ingested compounds, such as proteins that regulate gastrointestinal function and drugs or their metabolites. (merckmanuals.com)
- Bile salts are also biologic detergents that enable the body to excrete cholesterol and potentially toxic compounds (eg, bilirubin, drug metabolites). (merckmanuals.com)
Biliary cholangitis1
- Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease that affects hepatic biliary tracts (outward passageways for bile). (euroimmun.us)
Tumor1
- High index of proliferation should be prevented from the potential misdiagnosis of hepatic tumor. (bilpubgroup.com)
Radiographic1
- Cholangiography - radiographic examination of the bile duct is performed after injecting with a special dye to check the condition of Cholangitis - infection or inflammation of the bile ducts. (targetwoman.com)
Renal1
- The prognosis of ARPKD depends on the age at presentation, along with the degree of hepatic and renal involvement. (lecturio.com)
Strictures4
- In the absence of symptoms of the primary disease, most patients with bile duct strictures remain asymptomatic until the lumen of the bile duct is sufficiently narrowed to cause resistance to the flow of bile. (medscape.com)
- The etiology of bile duct strictures is sometimes obvious at the time of presentation. (medscape.com)
- This history provides valuable clues regarding the underlying disease and may prove useful in guiding management of patients with bile duct strictures. (medscape.com)
- Asymptomatic patients with bile duct strictures may have unremarkable physical examination findings. (medscape.com)
Infection2
- On the other hand, cholangitis involves infection of the bile ducts either due to biliary obstruction or bacterial infection. (targetwoman.com)
- While this is a relatively simple procedure, the possible complications include blood clots, bile leakage, injury to bile duct and infection. (targetwoman.com)
Choledochal cyst1
- Type IVb Choledochal Cyst: This type presents as multiple dilatations involving only the extrahepatic bile ducts. (iswantosucandyliversurgery.com)
Leakage2
- however, with minimal bile leakage, peritonitis may not occur initially and abdominal signs may be absent. (medscape.com)
- Although a bile leakage from the intraabdominal drain was observed several days after the operation, the patient was not given adequate treatment to stop the leakage. (elsevierpure.com)
Secretion1
- A storage reservoir for BILE secretion. (lookformedical.com)
Parenchyma1
- Effectiveness of hepatic parenchyma lithotomy of hepatolithiasis: a single-center experience. (bilpubgroup.com)
Ampulla1
- Fiberoptic endoscopy designed for duodenal observation and cannulation of VATER'S AMPULLA, in order to visualize the pancreatic and biliary duct system by retrograde injection of contrast media. (lookformedical.com)
Abdominal1
- Patients with Caroli disease or Caroli syndrome may have a history of intermittent abdominal pain, which reflects episodes of bile stasis or the passage of bile stones. (medscape.com)
Diseases2
- These include a broad spectrum of clinical diseases which are usually accompanied by hepatic involvement. (biomedcentral.com)
- generally caused by impairment of BILE flow, GALLSTONES in the BILIARY TRACT, infections, or other diseases. (lookformedical.com)
