Obstructive jaundice

Obstructive jaundice (also known as obstructive jaundice) is a condition in which bile cannot pass freely through the liver and bile ducts, causing bile retention and bilirubin accumulation. This may be due to various diseases such as gallstones, liver or pancreatic tumors, as well as other reasons such as spasm of the biliary tract or obstruction of the bile ducts.

Jaundice is a disease accompanied by a yellowish tint to the skin. The reason for this condition is a malfunction of the gallbladder, causing an increase in the concentration of bilirubin in the blood. Essentially, it is an excess of pigment that affects the color of the skin. It is called obstructive if the cause of the problem is obstruction of the bile ducts. In other words, the word “obstructive” means blockage. Blockage or obstruction occurs as a result of a combination of several factors. In particular, this may be the result of an inflammatory process or cancer in the gallbladder, tumor formation in the bile ducts, cholelithiasis or obstruction due to a drop in pressure. The mechanism of development of this type of disorder is associated with significant disturbances in blood circulation. Obstructive jaundice in another common form is usually called mechanical, in some ways it is similar to obstructive jaundice. With this form of jaundice
