Bile Duct Stone
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A bile duct stone is the presence of one or more solid deposits within the ducts that carry bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine.
Why it may cause discomfort: When a stone blocks the flow of bile, pain in the upper abdomen, yellowing of the skin and eyes, nausea, or fever may appear.
Signs that warrant attention: Intense and persistent pain, jaundice, or fever are reasons to seek timely evaluation.
Who treats it? The gastroenterologist and general surgeon evaluate this condition, with support from the endoscopist in studies of the bile ducts. If you have these symptoms, seeing a professional helps define the steps to follow.
