Principal pathways of cholesterol
metabolism in liver
Gallstones – Pathophysiology
• Cholesterol, ordinarily insoluble in water, comes
into solution by forming vesicles with
phospholipids
• If ratio of cholesterol, phospholipids, and bile salts
altered, cholesterol crystals may form
• Gallstone formation involves a variety of factors:
– Cholesterol supersaturation
– Mucin hypersecretion by the gallbladder mucosa
creates a viscoelastic gel that fosters nucleation.
– Bile stasis

Cholelithiasis
Biliary colic
Hydrops
Empyema
Choledocholithiasis
Acute Cholecystitis
Ascending Cholangitis
Gallstones – Types
• Two main types:
– Cholesterol stones (85%)
– Pigment stones (15%) occur in 2 subtypes—
brown and black.
• Black stones result when excess bilirubin enters the bile and
polymerizes into calcium bilirubinate (chronic hemolysis)
• Brown stones are made up of calcium bilirubinate and calciumsoaps. Bacteria involved in formation via secretion of beta
glucuronidase and phospholipase
Gallstones – Natural History
• 80% of patients, gallstones are clinically
silent
• 20% of patients develop symptoms over
15-20 years (1-2% per year)
• 50-70% continued to have symptoms
and complications
• More than 90% of complications are
preceded by biliary colic
Biliary Colic
• Intermittent obstruction of the cystic duct, no
inflammation of GB
• Severe epigastric/ RUQ pain growing over 15 min and
remaining constant up to 3h
• Frequency of attacks varies
• Normal examination
• Lab tests usually normal
• DS: US, EUS
• Natural history: 30% have no further symptoms
50% continue symptoms in 2y
Acute Calculous Cholecystitis
• Impacted stone in the cystic duct
• 75% are preceded by attacks of biliary colic
• Visceral epigastric pain – mod to severe, irradiated to RUQ,
back, shoulder, chest and lasting > 6 h
• Fever, Right subcostal tenderness with inspiratory arrest
( Murphy’s sign) , palpable GB
• Leucocytosis, mild elevation of BIL, Amylase
• 50% resolve spontaneously in 7-10 days without surgery
• DS: US, EUS, CT
• 10% are complicated by perforation.
Empyema / Mucocoele
• Mucocele refers to an
overdistended gallbladder filled
with mucoid or clear and watery
content.
• Empyema refers to a gallbladder
filled with pus due to acute
cholecystitis
Choledocholithiasis
• Intermittent obstruction of CBD
• Often symptomatic – indistinguishable from biliary
colic
• Predisposed to acute cholangitis and pancreatitis
• Signs : jaundice with pain.
• Investigations
– Elevated BIL, transient spike in Tranaaminases / Amylase,
– US, EUS, CT
• Treatment
– ERCP - Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography
Ascending Cholangitis
•Impacted stone in CBD causing bile stasis
•Bacterial superinfection
•Charcot’s triad : pain, jaundice, fever – 70%
•Mental confusion, hypotension, RUQ tenderness
•Jaundice (>80%)
•Peritoneal signs (15%)
•Elevated WBC, BIL, APH (blood cult usually pos)
•Emergent decompression of the CBD
(ERCP, PTC)
Acute biliary pancreatitis
•
• Pancreatic duct obstruction or chemical inflammation
• Signs - Variable – None to Sepsis
(Severe pain, fever, tachycardia, low BP),
Jaundice, acute abdomen
Investigations
• Bloods – U&E, FBC, LFT, Amylase, CRP
• Ultrasound of abdomen
• MRCP
• CT Pancreas
• Treatment Supportive / ERCP
Gallstone ileus
• Obstruction of the small bowel by a large gallstone
–A stone ulcerates through the gallbladder into the
duodenum and causes obstruction at the terminal
ileum/rt colon
• Symptoms : SBO - vomiting, abdominal pain,
distension, obstructive bowel sounds
• Investigations: X-ray, US/CT - air in CBD
• Treatment : Laparotomy and removal of stone from
small bowel and cholecystectomy.
Mirizzi’s Syndrome
Inflammatory phenomenon secondary to a pressure
ulcer caused by an impacted gallstone at the
gallbladder infundibulum
The impacted gallstone causes first external
obstruction of the CBD
Eventually erodes into the bile duct evolving into a
cholecystocholedochal fistula with different
degrees of communication between the GB and
CBD
Mirizzi’s Syndrome
Lemmmel’s Syndrome
Duodenal diverticula syndrome
Secondary to extrinsic compression by
periampullary diverticula in the absence of
additional pathology (cholelithiasis, tumor)
• The hypothesized mechanisms:
• Alterations of the papillary motility
• Bacterial contamination
• Extrinsic compression of the Main biliary tract
Lemmmel’s Syndrome
Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis
• Presence of an inflamed gallbladder in the absence of an
obstructed cystic or common bile duct
• Typically occurs in the setting of a critically ill patient (eg,
severe burns, multiple traumas, lengthy postoperative care,
prolonged intensive care)
• Accounts for 5% of cholecystectomies
• Etiology is thought to have ischemic basis, and gangrenous
gallbladder may result
• Increased rate of complications and mortality
• An uncommon subtype known as acute emphysematous
cholecystitis generally is caused by infection with clostridial
organisms and occlusion of the cystic artery associated with
atherosclerotic vascular disease and, often, diabetes.
Cholecystectomy

calcified GB and for growths (adenomyoma,
polyps > 15 mm)
Pancreatic cancer
• Pancreatic cancer is
the most common
malignant cause,
followed by cancers of
the gallbladder, bile
duct, liver, and large
intestine.
Metastasis
• 1st category involves local extension into the hilum by a
tumor arising in an adjacent structure, such as the
gallbladder, cholangio CA
• The 2nd - includes metastases from a distant primary site,
most often from solid tumors, such as carcinoma of the
breast, colon, ovaries or lymphoma, melanoma
• Mechanical cholestasis caused by the stricture,
mostly of the common hepatic or common bile duct
Patients have severe jaundice and associated symptoms
such as pruritis, recurrent cholangitis and malaise.

Gallstones
Congenital anomalies
Extrinsic compression of the bile ducts
Hepatobiliary parasitism
• Noncancerous strictures
Biliary Stricture – Non Cancerous
Causes
Noncancerous causes of bile duct stricture
include:
• Injury to the bile ducts during surgery for
gallbladder removal
• Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
• Primary sclerosing cholangitis
• Gallstones (benign CBD stricture, papillary
stenosis
• Blunt trauma to the abdomen
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
• Chronic cholestatic biliary disease characterized by
non-suppurative inflammation and fibrosis of the
biliary ductal system
• Cause is unknown but is associated with
autoimmune inflammatory diseases, such as
chronic ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s colitis, and
rare conditions, such as Riedel thyroiditis and
retroperitoneal fibrosis
• Most patients present with fatigue and pruritus
and, occasionally, jaundice
PSC
•Natural history is variable but involves
progressive destruction of the bile ducts,
leading to cirrhosis and liver failure
•Clinical features of cholangitis (ie, fever, right
upper quadrant pain, jaundice) are uncommon
unless the biliary system has been
instrumented.
PSC
PSC
Medical Care
• Chronic progressive disease with no curative medical therapy
• Goals of medical management are to treat the symptoms and
to prevent or treat the known complications
• Liver transplantation is the only effective therapy and is
indicated in end-stage liver disease.
Surgical Care
• Indications for liver transplantation include variceal bleed or
portal gastropathy, intractable ascites, recurrent cholangitis,
progressive muscle wasting, and hepatic encephalopathy.
• Recurs in 15-20% of patients after transplantation.
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
•Progressive cholestatic biliary disease that
presents with fatigue and itching or
asymptomatic elevation of the alkaline
phosphatase.
•Jaundice develops with progressive destruction
of bile ductules that eventually leads to liver
cirrhosis and hepatic failure.
•Autoimmune illness has a familial
predisposition
PBC
Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are present
in 95% of patients
Goals of treatment are to slow the progression
rate of the disease and to alleviate the
symptoms (eg, pruritus, osteoporosis, sicca
syndrome)
Liver transplantation appears to be the only lifesaving procedure.
ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde
cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
• Endoscopic tube is placed into the
patient’s mouth, through the
stomach, and into the duodenal
portion of the small intestine.
• Contrast is introduced into the
biliary tract through the
endoscope, in a retrograde
manner.
• X-rays taken

Indications For Biliary Stenting
Indications for stent insertion include:
• Ampullary Stenosis
• Bile duct injury
• Benign or malignant biliary obstruction
• Prevention of obstruction where stone
extraction is not possible at that time
• Pancreatic duct strictures, stones and
sphincter of Oddi dysfunction
Stent Placement -Endoscopic Approach
• A catheter is inserted through
the endoscope into the ostium
of the common bile duct.
• While maintaining the
endoscope position in the
duodenum, a wire is inserted
through the catheter into the
bile duct.
• The stent delivery system is
then inserted over the wire
to the site of obstruction,
where the stent is deployed.
Stent Placement – Endoscopic
Approach
Success rate of ERCP 90-95%
Complication rate of approximately 3-5%.
Complications:
•
•
•
•
•
Pancreatitis
Bleeding
Perforation
Infection
Cardiopulmonary depression from conscious sedation.
Biliary Stent - Percutaneous transhepatic
approach PTC
For biliary stent placement
using a percutaneous
approach:
•A fine needle is inserted
between the 4th and 5th rib on
the patient’s right side
•The puncture is through the
liver
•The needle is inserted into an
intrahepatic duct under image
guidance.
