Liver Disease and Common-Bile-Duct Stenosis in Cystic Fibrosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 1988
To determine the incidence of common-bile-duct lesions and their relation to liver disease in cystic fibrosis, we performed hepatobiliary scanning in 50 of 61 patients with cystic fibrosis who had hepatomegaly, abnormal liver function, or both and in 31 of 92 patients with cystic fibrosis who did not have hepatomegaly or abnormal liver function. Ninety-

Refractory primary common bile duct stone disease

The American Journal of Surgery, 1980
Abstract Thirty-seven cases are reported of primary common bile duct stones considered typical of primary stone disease with an asymptomatic period of at least 2 years after cholecystectomy and stones of a soft brown, easily crushable characteristic.

Disease-Specific Outcomes Assessment for Common Bile Duct Stones

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1999
Clinicians often manage patients with suspected bile duct stones. Research has focused on assessing the accuracy of diagnostic alternatives to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or on establishing predictors for stones. Studies using costs and quality of life as primary outcomes are rare. This may be caused in part by specific challenges inherent to

Disease-Based Risk Stratification of Postendoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis for Common Bile Duct Stones

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2021
Risk stratification of postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) for common bile duct (CBD) stones is needed for clinicians to adequately explain to patients regarding the risk of PEP in advance of ERCP and to proactively take preventive measures in high-risk patients.To stratify the risk of PEP for CBD stones based ...

Symposium on Diseases of Gallbladder and Common Bile Duct

A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 1957
Fig. 1. —Normal anatomical relationships prevail in less than 70% of patients. Alertness to variations and positive identification before division of any structure in this area provide safety from inadvertent injury to blood vessels and the ductal system. Fig. 2.

Epidemiology and natural history of common bile duct stones and prediction of disease

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2002
Gallstones are extremely common in Western societies. Approximately l5% of Americans have gallstones, and approximately 650,000 to 700,000 cholecystectomies are performed every year.1. More than 98% of all biliary tract disorders are in some way related to gallstones.

COMMON BILE DUCT STENOSIS AND PANCREATITIS IN KAWASAKI DISEASE

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2010
We report 2 children with Kawasaki disease, who developed pancreatitis and common bile duct abnormalities. After reviewing the literature, we conclude that Kawasaki disease may lead to such changes as a result of the underlying vasculitis characterizing this disease, or of direct inflammation of the biliary tree.

[Diagnosis of common bile duct stones in symptomatic gallstone disease].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 2000
It is unclear which diagnostic procedure is optimal for the detection of common bile duct stones prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It is routine to use blood tests for liver function and transabdominal ultrasound, and the best method is currently to continue evaluation with other methods when one or more blood tests for liver function are elevated
