Bile passes out of the liver through the bile ducts and is stored in the gallbladder. After a meal, it is released into the small intestine. When the bile ducts become blocked, bile builds up in the liver, and jaundice (yellow color of the skin) develops due to the increasing levels of bilirubin in the blood. The possible causes of a blocked bile duct include: Cysts of the common bile duct. Enlarged lymp nodes in the porta hepatis.
evaluation of dilated bile duct is aimed to diagnose and treat the. obstructive lesion. The clinical approach therefore requires (i) definition of normal limits of bile duct size (ii) predictive markers. for obstruction & (iii) imaging modality for defining the level and. etiology of obstruction.
