Caroli disease (communicating cavernous biliary ectasia) is the congenital disease characterized by multifocal segmental saccular dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts. On liver tomograms cystic formations (dilated bile ducts) may be detected with central enhancing dots or stripes (portal vein branches) ...
separately into the gallbladder; Type II is when the right and left hepatic ducts unite upon entering the gall- bladder; Type III refers to a common hepatic duct that enters the gallbladder, and in Type IV multiple small bile ducts connect the intrahepatic biliary system with the gall-...
Intrahepatic BA circulation is an important physiological process. Upon the formation of primary BAs (CA and CDCA), they undergo detoxification through conjugation with either glycine or taurine [22]. Most primary BAs are conjugated to glycine in humans and taurine in mice. The conjugated BAs canno...
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic and slowly progressive cholestatic liver disease of autoimmune etiology characterized by injury of the intrahepatic bile ducts that may eventually lead to liver failure. Affected individuals are usually in their fifth to seventh decades of life at time of ...
The intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary ducts, and occasionally the gallbladder, can be visualized to determine possible obstruction. In obstruction of the extrahepatic ducts, a catheter can be placed in the duct to allow external drainage of bile. Endoscopic retrograde ch...
focal nodular hyperplasia, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, HCC, and colorectal metastasis. This study showed an accuracy of 92%, sensitivity of 92%, and specificity of 98% of this model compared with radiologists’ reads, which had an average sensitivity of 82.5% and specificity of 96.5% [189]....
[1]. The latter category may also include patients with an intrahepatic tumor that invades the hepatic duct confluence. Pathologic confirmation of PHC is not required prior to inclusion in the study. Patients are selected to potentially undergo a major liver resection if preoperative imaging with ...
(Radiometer America Inc.; Brea, CA). We measured bicarbonate levels in bile from healthy controls and patients with alcoholic cirrhosis since biliary bicarbonate secretion: (i) depends on and is closely associated with changes in intrahepatic biliary mass (DR) and activation of the Sct/SR ...

For large tumors and those with a close relationship with intrahepatic blood vessels or the inferior vena cava, three-dimen- sional visualization was applied to evaluate the location of the tumor and its relationship with blood vessels. The peripherally located HHs were defined as HHs located in ...
