DCT Herbal Remedy for Choledocholithiasis
|
|
|
Cholelithiasis is usually incidentally discovered by routine x-ray study, surgery, or autopsy. Virtually all gallstones are formed within the gallbladder, an organ that normally functions to store bile excreted from the liver. |
Bile is a solution composed of water, bile salts, lecithin, cholesterol and some other small solutes. Changes in the relative concentration of these components may cause precipitation from solution and formation of a nidus, or nest, around which gallstones are formed.
|
These stones may be as small as a grain of sand, or they may become as large as an inch in diameter, depending on how much time has elapsed from their initial formation. Depending on the main substance that initiated their formation (for instance, cholesterol), they may be yellow or otherwise pigmented in color. |
Three types of gallstones exist. They are (1) cholesterol (most common), (2) pigment, and (3) mixed stones. The formation of each type is caused by the crystallization of bile into stones. The physiology that determines the substrate of the stone, however, is different.
|
Cholesterol stones are the most common type of stone. Normally, bile acids, lecithin, and phospholipids help to maintain cholesterol as a solute. When bile is supersaturated with cholesterol, it crystallizes and forms a nidus for stone formation. Calcium and pigment also may be incorporated in the stone. Impaired gallbladder motility, bile stasis, and bile content predispose people to the formation of gallstones. |
| Gallbladder sludge is crystallization within bile without stone formation. Sludge may be a step in the formation of stones or it may occur independently. In one study, sludge resolved in 71% of cases, became stones in 9%, and developed acalculous cholecystitis in 7%. |
| Pigment stones, which comprise 15% of gallstones, are formed by the crystallization of calcium bilirubinate. Diseases that lead to increased destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis), abnormal metabolism of hemoglobin (cirrhosis), or infections (including parasitic) predispose people to pigment stones. Black stones and brown stones exist. Black stones are found in people with hemolytic disorders. Brown stones are found in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic duct. They are associated with infection in the gallbladder and commonly are found in people of Asian descent. |
Cholelithiasis is a common health problem worldwide, affecting approximately 1 out of 1,000 people. The prevalence is greater in women, Native Americans, and people over the age of 40.
|
In general, risk factors include increasing age, ethnic and hereditary factors, female gender, obesity, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, long-term intravenous nutrition (total parenteral nutrition) and certain operations for peptic ulcers. |
|
SYNONYMS Gallstones |
|
SYMPTOMS Symptoms usually manifest after a stone of sufficient size (usually > 8mm) blocks the cystic duct, which drains the gallbladder, or the common bile duct, which is the main duct draining into the duodenum. |
Collectively, these ducts form part of the biliary system. A stone blocking the opening from the gallbladder or cystic duct usually produces symptoms of biliary colic, which is right upper quadrant abdominal pain that feels like cramping. If the stone does not pass into the duodenum, but continues to block the cystic duct, acute cholecystitis results. |
If the common bile duct is blocked for a substantial period of time, certain bacteria may find their way up behind the stone and grow in the stagnant bile producing symptoms of cholangitis. Cholangitis is a serious condition and usually requires hospitalization for treatment. Furthermore, the continued blockage of normal bile flow may produce jaundice. |
In addition, stones blocking the lower end of the common bile duct where it enters the duodenum may obstruct secretion from the pancreas producing pancreatitis. This condition can also be serious and may require hospitalization. In general, pay attention to the following symptoms: |
- Abdominal pain
- in the right upper quadrant or in the middle of the upper abdomen
- may be recurrent
- sharp or cramping or dull
- may radiate to the back or below the right shoulder blade
- made worse by fatty or greasy foods
- occurs within minutes following meals
- Jaundice
- Fever
|
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease: |
- Stools, clay colored
- Nausea and vomiting
- Heartburn
- Gas/flatus, excessive
- Abdominal indigestion
- Abdominal fullness, gaseous
