Causes of slight dilatation of intrahepatic bile duct

There are many reasons for intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. The most common reason is gallstones. We know that gallstones are relatively common. When gallstones occur, they often lead to symptoms of a certain degree of dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct. Of course, tumors cannot be ruled out as the cause. If a tumor occurs, it will also cause such a phenomenon. In addition, it may also be due to inflammation, which may cause dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct.

Causes of slight dilatation of intrahepatic bile duct

The causes of stones can be caused. Tumors can also be caused. The treatments for intrahepatic bile duct dilatation vary depending on the cause. If it is a stone, the intrahepatic bile duct will be dilated, depending on the location of the stone. If the common pipe is blocked by stones. Common bile duct incision, stone removal and T-tube drainage surgery were performed. If it is intrahepatic bile duct stones, the stones can be removed through choledochoscopy, and in severe cases, liver resection surgery can be performed.

Symptoms of intrahepatic bile duct stones 1. Combined manifestations of extrahepatic bile duct stones: severe acute bile duct stones such as infectious shock or mental disorders are often manifested as acute cholangitis, biliary colic and obstructive jaundice. After the acute inflammation is controlled, jaundice often occurs. Some patients may have varying degrees of liver pain or shoulder-directed symptoms for a long time without any clear explanation during the non-acute inflammatory period, or may only have varying degrees of right upper abdominal dull pain radiating to the back and other manifestations of chronic bile duct inflammation. 2. Abdominal signs without extrahepatic bile duct stones: Some patients may have pain or hepatomegaly on percussion of the liver, in addition to mild or no jaundice. Acute intrahepatic bile duct obstruction and infection are similar to acute cholangitis. In severe cases, patients may also experience obvious pain in the right upper abdomen and under the right rib margin, chills, fever, decreased blood pressure, obvious tenderness, muscle tension or hepatomegaly.

Intrahepatic bile duct stones are a type of bile duct stones and are a relatively common disease. More importantly, they can cause a series of serious complications. Then we can have a deeper understanding of intrahepatic bile duct stones by learning more about the symptoms of the disease in patients.
