Obstructed bilary flow
Caudate lobe drains into Left and Right Hepatic ducts; don't get confused with the Quadrate lobe of the liver which drains only into the Left hepatic duct.
This means that on the CT scan, the canals within the liver cells that produce bile for the digestion of fats are not dilated, showing there is no blockage downstream of the bile ducts.
AIR IN BILIARY SYSTEM. AIR IN BILIARY SYSTEM.
Primary biliary cirrhosis is the gradual destruction of the biliary system for unknown reasons.
I think is disorder of motility of gallbadder and biliary duct
biliary apparatus collects bile from live and store it in gall bladder
Increased levels of bilirubin in the urine may be due to: * Biliary strictures * Cirrhosis * Gallstones in the biliary tract * Hepatitis with associated biliary obstruction * Surgical trauma affecting the biliary tract * Tumors of the liver or gall bladder
hepatic
It should include both right and left hepatic ducts, the Common hepatic and Common Bile ducts, and the Ampulla of Vater, with free flow of contrast into the Duodenum. It should not include filling defects (which can be air bubbles but are interpreted as stones). The Cystic duct may or may not be seen, depending on how far the cholangio-catheter has been introduced.
GGT and ALP (alkaline phosphatase....mostly in biliary cells but some in hepatocytes)...
no
