summary

The liver is the only detoxification organ in our body, because the importance of responsibility lies there. It is easy to have bile duct stones. I would like to share with you the severity of intrahepatic bile duct stones.

Is hepatolithiasis serious

Diffuse intrahepatic bile duct stones can gradually lead to biliary cirrhosis, and further lead to portal hypertension. When hepatolithiasis complicated with acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis, no matter where the stones appear, there will be toxemia and septic shock, and lead to liver, kidney, lung, heart and other multiple organ failure.

Then it will form liver abscess and bronchial fistula, because repeated episodes of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis can form liver abscess, and its clinical symptoms are similar to acute suppurative cholangitis. When the abscess penetrates to the lung, it will form bronchobiliary fistula, and the most common symptoms are cough and expectoration. Hepatolithiasis often leads to repeated inflammatory damage and repair of the bile duct wall, which eventually leads to fibrotic stricture of the bile duct.

When repeated inflammation erosion leads to bile duct communicating with adjacent blood vessels, bile duct hemorrhage can occur. The clinical manifestations are periodic gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain, fever and so on. Comparatively speaking, this is very serious.

matters needing attention

People with hepatolithiasis should not eat irritant food, smoke or drink, stay in bed as much as possible, keep good sleep habits and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
