A PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON ETIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE DUE TO EXTRA HEPATIC BILIARY OBSTRUCTION”
Journal Title: Stanley Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Jaundice or icterus a generic term used for yellowish discoloration of the skin, mucous membrane or sclera caused by a heterogeneous group of disorders. It is useful to divide the causes of obstructive jaundice into two categories, cholestasis from parenchymal liver disease and mechanical obstruction from a block of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary tract. Surgical jaundice or Obstructive jaundice occurs due to themintra or extra hepatic obstruction to the biliary flow. It can present as a problem in diagnosis and management because there is a group of jaundiced patients in whom it is very difficult to distinguish between organic / Structural obstruction and a medical cause of jaundice particularly intrahepatic cholestasis. Biliary obstruction produces local effects on the bile ducts that lead to derangements of hepatic function and ultimately to widespread systemic effects.
