Bile can back up in the liver due to a blockage in the bile ducts, which can occur from conditions like gallstones, strictures, or tumors. This obstruction prevents bile from flowing into the intestine, causing it to accumulate in the liver. As a result, increased pressure in the bile ducts can lead to liver damage and inflammation, a condition known as cholestasis. Additionally, liver diseases such as cirrhosis can impair bile production and flow, further contributing to the backup.

The cystic duct leaves the gallbladder and joins the common hepatic duct to form the common bile duct, which connects to the small intestine. There is a sphincter that controls the bile flow from the common bile duct to the small intestine, and when it's contracted, the bile that is secreted from the liver travels up the cystic duct to be stored in the gallbladder.
