A person who is suffering from this condition certainly does. This could be very serious. It could indicate a blockage in the duct that could be a stone or tumor and needs to be properly investigated.

Why would a Bile duct is dialected?
bile duct dilated
What do dilated intrahepatic bile ducts indicate?
Dilated intrahepatic bile ducts usually indicate an abnormal blockage downstream. Intrahepatic bile ducts are the small bile ducts in the liver that collect the liver cells' bile for transport to the larger bile ducts that become a single bile duct.
What is the medical term meaning tumor in the bile vessel or duct?
It essentially is a duct that has been dilated by iodine.
Is it normal to have White stools after surgery?
The brown colour of stools is mainly due to bile, produced in the liver. White stools indicate that bile is not getting into the intestine due to blockage of the bile duct, most commonly due to gallstones. If it happens after gallbladder surgery, it may indicate damage to the bile duct.
Duct transporting bile from gallbladder to common bile duct?
The bile duct.
What happens to bile acid if you remove your gallbladder?
There's a small possibility that a stone is obstructing the bile duct after the gallbladder was removed. However, most people who undergo a cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal surgery) will have a dilated bile duct after the fact - even though there is no stone. A dilated duct after cholecystectomy, by itself, is not considered an abnormal finding. When the gall bladder is removed, the common bile duct essentially takes on its function and dilates to accommodate the bile that accumulates before being released into the duodenum after you eat a meal. It's also possible to see small air bubbles trapped inside the bile duct (a condition called pneumobilia). This, too, is considered a normal post-surgical finding.
Twisted bile duct How does the bile duct get twisted?
what causes a twisted bile duct
Is a bile duct the same as a bile?
no because bile is stored in the bile duct
What does it mean if you have no bile duct dilation?
"no bile duct dilation" means the diameter if the bile duct is normal.
What duct is formed by the merger of the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct?
common bile ductThe common bile duct.
Carries bile into the duodenum?
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
What does this mean There are serpiginous dilated varices extending from the gastrohepatic ligament into the pericholecystic region surrounding the gallbladder and common bile duct?
The term serpiginous means a wavy, ulerated lesion. Dilated varices means enlarged veins. The gastrohepatic ligament is a braod band of connective tissue holding the lesser curvature of the stomach to the base of the liver. The term pericholeystic region involves a region around the bile duct which leads from the liver. For some reason there are problems with the stomach, liver and bile duct.
