JAUNDICEJAUNDICENormal serum bilirubin ranges from 0.5-1.3 mg/dL
Levels exceed 2 mg/dL, bilirubin stains the tissues, and becomes clinically apparent as jaundice
Bilirubin is the normal breakdown product of hemoglobin
Produced from senecent red blood cells by the reticuloendothelial system
Insoluble unconjugated bilirubin is bound to albumin and transported to liver
Transported across the sinusoidal membrane of the hepatocyte into the cytoplasm
Bilirubin MetabolismBilirubin Metabolism
Unconjugated bilirubin is conjugated with glucronic acid via the effect of uridine-diphosphate-glucronyl transferase
Water-soluble molecules of bilirubin monoglucronide and bilirubin diglucronide are formed
Conjugated bilirubin is actively secreted into bile canaliculus
In the terminal ileum and colon, bilirubin is converted to urobilinogen
10-20% of urobilinogen is reabsorbed into portal circulation
Urobilinogen is either re-excreted into the bile or excreted by the kidneys into the urine
Diagnostic EvaluationDiagnostic Evaluation
The differential diagnosis of jaundice parallels the metabolism of bilirubin
A. Medical jaundice1.Increased production2.Decreased hepatocyte transport or conjugation3.Impaired excretion of bilirubinB. Surgical jaundice

UltrasonographyUltrasonography (US)(US)
•Initial screening test in suspected extrahepatic biliaryobstruction
•Dilation of the extrahepatic (>10 mm) or intrahepatic(>4 mm) bile ducts suggests biliary obstruction
•US is also accurate at identifying;• gallstones• liver metastases• and masses of the liver and pancreas
as possible causes of jaundice
ComputerisedComputerised TomographyTomography ScanningScanning (CT)(CT)
•CT is very sensitive at identifying biliary dilation
•less sensitive than US at detecting gallstones
•more accurate than US at identifying the site andcause of the extrahepatic biliary obstruction
•Spiral CT scanning provides additional staginginformation including vasculer involvement
CholangiographyCholangiographyOften necessary to delineate the site and cause of biliary obstruction
•MR cholangiography; noninvasive, provides excellent anatomic detail
•Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP); invasive, risk of 2-5 % complications. Useful in imaging patients with periampullary tumors and choledocholithiasis
•Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC); invasive, risk of 2-5 % complications. Preferred technique in patients with proximal biliary obstruction or in patients in whom ERC is not technically possible
EndoscopicEndoscopic ManagementManagement•Several conditions causing jaundice can also be treated at the time of ERC
•The common bile duct can be cleared of stones using endoscopicallypassed balloon catheters or baskets following a sphincterotomy
•Malignant biliary strictures involving the mid or distal common bile duct are also amenable to endoscopically placed stents to internallydecompress the biliary tract and relieve jaundice
•Polyurethane and metallic expandable stents are available
•Metallic stents remain patent longer, more difficult to exchangeonce they are occluded
PercutaneousPercutaneous ManagementManagement•Percutaneous route is also available for access to the biliary tractand the treatment of obstructing jaundice
•This approach is favored in patients with more proximal bile ductobstruction involving or proximal to the hepatic duct bifurcation
•Percutaneously placed polyurethane or metallic stents can usuallybe passed across an obstructing biliary lesion into the duodenum topermit internal biliary drainage
•Serial dilation of the stent tract can also facilitate passage of a flexible choledochoscope into biliary tree for direct visualization, biopsy or management of any obstructing lesions or stones
OperativeOperative ManagementManagement
Risk factors
•In an obstructive jaundice; hepatic and pancreatic function, thegastrointestinal barrier, immune function, hemostatic mechanisms and wound healing can be impaired
•Hepatic protein synthesis, hepatic reticuloendothelial function, and other aspects of hepatic metabolism may be significantly altered
•Endotoxemia occurs frequently and may contribute renal, cardiac and pulmonary insufficiency observed
•Altered cell-mediated immunity increases the risk of infection
•Coagulation disorders make these patients prone to bleeding problems
•Malnutrition (hypoalbuminemia), and sepsis (cholangitis) and renal insufficiency all are associated with an increase in operative morbidity and mortality
