Your doctor can do thinking, memory, and language tests to see if you have MCI. He or she also may suggest that you see a specialist for more tests. Because MCI may be an early sign of Alzheimerâs disease, itâs really important to see your doctor or specialist every 6 to 12 months.
Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration: In this procedure, stones in the bile duct are removed by laparoscopic techniques. In patients with gallstones small stones can pass from the gallbladder into the bile duct. Stones in the bile duct can cause obstruction leading to the development of jaundice and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The treatment is removal of the gallbladder.
After eating, bile travels through the bile duct into the intestines, where it helps break down the food in order for the cat to get the needed nutrients and deposit the excess as waste. Bile duct obstruction, or cholestasis, occurs when bile isn't able to properly flow from the gallbladder into the small intestine. When the bile is prevented from leaving the bile duct, a cat may become very ill as it can't get the proper nutrition it needs.
