A Stone in the Bile duct called Choledocholithiasis.

This video shows a Stone in the Bile duct called Choledocholithiasis. Choledocholithiasis is the presence of stones in bile ducts; the stones can form in the gallbladder or in the ducts themselves. These stones cause biliary colic, biliary obstruction, gallstone pancreatitis, or cholangitis (bile duct infection and inflammation). Cholelithiasis involves the presence of gallstones, which are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. Choledocholithiasis refers to the presence of one or more gallstones in the common bile duct (CBD). Typical signs and symptoms of choledocholithiasis include abdominal pain that is episodic but constant in character, localized in the right upper quadrant, epigastrium, or both, and may radiate to the right side; nausea and vomiting are common and tend not to relieve the pain; anorexia; icterus; and dark urine Symptoms of the blocked bile duct:- Symptoms of a blocked bile duct include Yellowing of the skin (jaundice) or eyes (icterus), from the buildup of a waste product called bilirubin. Itching (not limited to one area; may be worse at night or in warm weather) Light brown urine. If a stone completely blocks the ducts of the gallbladder, liver, common bile duct, or pancreas, other symptoms may include Nausea. Fever. Chills. The most common cause of severe acute pancreatitis is gallstones blocking the pancreatic duct. This can sometimes occur even if the gallbladder has been previously removed. When triggered by excessive alcohol consumption, acute pancreatitis usually resolves itself with rest and avoiding drinking. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing level of bilirubin in the blood. The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include Cysts of the common bile duct. Enlarged lymph nodes in the porta hepatis. Women are more likely to develop cholesterol gallstones than men, especially during their reproductive years when the incidence of gallstones in women is 2-3 times that in men. The difference appears to be attributable mainly to estrogen, which increases biliary cholesterol secretion. Abdominal ultrasound. This test is the one most commonly used to look for signs of gallstones. Abdominal ultrasound involves moving a device (transducer) back and forth across your stomach area. When gallstones are diagnosed, there may be uncertainty about whether any stones have passed into the bile duct. Gallstones in the bile duct are sometimes seen during an ultrasound scan. If they're not visible but your tests suggest the bile duct may be affected, you may need an MRI scan or a cholangiography. Gallstones, also known as symptomatic cholelithiasis, are hard, crystal-like deposits that can form in the gallbladder below the liver. They can range in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as golf balls – although small stones are much more common. Women are more likely to develop cholesterol gallstones than men, especially during their reproductive years when the incidence of gallstones in women is 2-3 times that in men. The difference appears to be attributable mainly to estrogen, which increases biliary cholesterol secretion. But if you get less than your body requires, it can take a toll on your gallbladder. Water helps the organ empty and keeps bile from building up. This protects against gallstones and other problems. Sipping more also can help you slim down. Complications of gallstones may include: Inflammation of the gallbladder. A gallstone that becomes lodged in the neck of the gallbladder can cause inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). ... Blockage of the common bile duct. ... Blockage of the pancreatic duct. ... Gallbladder cancer.
