Biliary Stricture
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing a gastroenterologist is the usual course for a biliary stricture, a narrowing of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the intestine. That narrowing can hinder the normal flow of bile.
What it is: It is a reduction in the caliber of the bile ducts that impedes the drainage of bile and can cause it to build up.
Frequent symptoms:
- Yellowish coloring of the skin and eyes
- Itching of the skin
- Dark urine and pain in the upper abdomen
Common causes: It may be due to scarring after surgery, inflammation, or stones, among other reasons.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the endoscopist evaluate the ducts, with participation from the general surgeon depending on the case. If you notice these signs, the recommendation is to have a professional study the cause.
