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.
Bile is stored in gallbladder and when you eat food, gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine (duodenum). The tube that carries bile from gallbladder to the small intestine is called bile duct. Whenever there is blockage or obstruction in bile duct, it enlarges in it size or dilates. The first symptom you may notice is pale colored stool and dark urine if bile duct is blocked, if the blockage progresses further it causes yellow discoloration of your eyes and skin.
