Various authors report different "normal" ranges for the diameter of the common bile duct. The consensus is that most people have a common bile duct diameter of around 5mm, +/- 1 mm. However, there are reports were people with no hepatobilliary disease have a "normal" common bile duct size up to 10 mm. Also, there is a correlation between common bile duct diameter and age. Most physicians would like to check things further if the common bile duct diameter is greater than about 7 mm, particularly if there are symptoms indicating hepatobilliary disease (abdominal pain with or without jaundice, fever etc.). Finally, even "normal" common bile duct sizes do not exclude the possibility of disease (such as stones).

What does a 2mm common bile duct indicate?

A 2mm common bile duct is typically considered within the normal range for adults, as the normal diameter is generally between 1-3mm. However, it could indicate potential issues if accompanied by other symptoms or abnormalities, such as bile duct obstruction or inflammation. In certain contexts, particularly in older adults, a duct of this size might suggest a possible underlying pathology that warrants further investigation. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment based on individual circumstances.

Are weight gain vomiting diarrhea and abdominal pain symptoms of gallbladder disease?

The abdominal pain, fever, vomiting (green 'bile' from your stomach), and very light colored stools (or bowel movements) are symptoms of gall bladder disease. Many lose weight while they have gall bladder problems, because the bile (which comes from the liver and goes into the gall bladder) backs up into the stomach as it tries to digest certain foods (greasy foods, red meats, dairy products, products high in uric acids) and can make you very nauseous. Sometimes the gall or 'bile' in the gall bladder coagulates into stones (starting about the size of grains of sand, growing to marble sized stones) which can get stuck in the little tube leading from your liver to the gall bladder (the common bile duct). When this 'common bile duct is blocked', the 'bile' (which gives the brown coloring of bowel movements) can't get to the stomach to digest the food, this can be very painful, and can be lethal if your liver gets infected. SEE A DOCTOR, SOON.


What is cholelithaisis?

Cholelithiasis, commonly known as gallstones, is a condition where solid particles form in the gallbladder, typically due to imbalances in the substances that make up bile. These particles can range in size from small pebbles to large stones, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice. Treatment may involve medications to dissolve the stones or surgery to remove the gallbladder.
