CBD Stones

Advanced Diagnosis & Minimally Invasive Treatment for Bile Duct Obstruction

What Are CBD Stones?

CBD stones, also known as choledocholithiasis, are gallstones that pass into or form inside the common bile duct — the tube that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the small intestine. These stones can block the flow of bile, leading to pain, infection, jaundice, or even life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Causes of CBD Stones

• Migration of stones from the gallbladder
• Gallbladder removed but stones persist in the bile duct
• Bile stasis or infection
• Narrowed or scarred bile ducts

Symptoms of CBD Stones

• Sudden, severe pain in the upper right or middle abdomen
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)
• Dark urine and pale stools
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fever and chills (indicates infection or cholangitis)

If you experience these symptoms, especially jaundice and fever, seek immediate medical care. Untreated CBD stones can cause serious conditions like acute cholangitis or pancreatitis.

• Ultrasound Abdomen – First-line screening tool
• MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) – High-accuracy imaging
• CT Scan – To assess complications
• Liver Function Tests – To check bile duct obstruction
• Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) – High-resolution visualization
• ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) – Both diagnostic and therapeutic
