Biliary Disorders
Biliary disorders refer to conditions that affect the biliary system, which includes the gallbladder, bile ducts, and liver. These disorders can lead to issues such as bile flow obstruction, inflammation, or infection. Common examples include gallstones, which can block bile ducts, and cholecystitis, an inflammation of the gallbladder.
Symptoms of biliary disorders may include abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and digestive problems. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans, and treatment options can range from medication to surgical procedures, depending on the severity and type of disorder.
