Contrasting liver function test patterns in obstructive jaundice due to biliary structures and stones
Background: Obstructive jaundice is believed to be characterized by abnormalities of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), rather than aspartate transaminase (AST). Aim: To compare liver function tests (LFTs) in obstructive jaundice due to malignant strictures with those of jaundice due to gallstones. Methods: LFTs were measured immediately before endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) in...
متن کاملStudies of standard liver function and hepatic fibrosis in rats with obstructive jaundice and biliary drainage.
ABSTRUCT The authors prepared the obstructive jaundice model on which the external biliary drainage was operable, and tried to clarify the critical duration of obstruction from the aspects of the standard liver function and hepatic fibrosis, and the following results were obtained. 1) The T. B, Al-p, GOT and GPT levels in 1 to 4 weeks after the common bile duct obstruction was significantly hig...
متن کاملAbnormal Lipid Metabolism in Obstructive Jaundice Due to Multifocal Biliary Tract Carcinomas.
SEVERE, rapidly progressive, obstructive jaundice is probably most frequently due to neoplastic obstruction of the biliary tract either within the hepatic substance or in its extra-hepatic part. The obstruction when complete produces profound metabolic changes which are on the whole poorly understood and these changes are reflected in changes in the blood chemistry. In the differential diagnosi...
متن کاملBiliary stents in malignant obstructive jaundice due to pancreatic carcinoma: a cost- effectiveness analysis
Health technology The use of two methods for endoscopic placement of biliary stents in patients with pancreatic carcinoma. The methods examined were plastic (polyethylene) stents and metallic stents. Plastic stents were widely used due to their ease of insertion and low costs. However, their major disadvantage was their tendency to clog because of bacterial biofilm formation and biliary sludge....
متن کاملJaundice in Mice Due to Anomalies of the Biliary Tract
There has been described a previously unrecognized disease of mice, characterized by progressive jaundice, first appearing during the nursing period. This has been shown to be due to congenital absence of the terminal segment of the common bile duct, or to the absence of intrahepatic ducts. In the former case, there is distension of the cystic and hepatic ducts, and of the gall bladder, with mu...
