CBD Stone (Common Bile Duct Stone)
Understanding CBD Stone
Common bile duct stones, also known as choledocholithiasis, occur when gallstones pass from the gallbladder into the common bile duct, causing a blockage. This can lead to severe pain, infection, and liver damage if not treated promptly.
Common Causes of CBD Stone
- Gallstones: Stones formed in the gallbladder that migrate to the common bile duct.
- Bile Duct Strictures: Narrowing of the bile ducts can trap stones.
- Infections: Can lead to the formation of stones in the bile ducts.
Symptoms of CBD Stone
- Severe abdominal pain, particularly in the upper right quadrant
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Dark urine and pale stools
- Fever and chills
- Nausea and vomiting
