    Among 3192 operations on the gall bladder and biliary ducts clinically and chemically a benign icterus was found in 318 patients (9.9%) (maximal serum bilirubin values 21 mumol/l). 140 patients (44%) had a typical biliary history over many years, 173 patients (54%) had only cholelithiasis, 98 patients (30.9%) had concrements in the gall bladder and biliary ducts and 9 patients (2.8%) had concrements in the biliary ducts only. In 141 patients (44.3%) additional complications were found. The post-operative mortality was 5% among which were 9 patients dying of the final stages of their basic disease or its complications; 7 patients died of cardiopulmonary complications. An improvement of the prognosis can only be reached by early operation of patients with gallstones.

    Cirrhosis I: Introduction

    Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...
    Jaundice01:25

    Jaundice

    Jaundice, or icterus, is the yellow discoloration of the skin, sclerae, and mucous membranes. It happens when plasma bilirubin levels rise above 2.5-3 mg/dL, leading to bilirubin deposition in tissue.Bilirubin is a byproduct of hemoglobin degradation. In macrophages, hemoglobin breaks down into globin and heme. Globin is converted into amino acids, while heme is turned into biliverdin by heme oxygenase, which is then reduced to unconjugated bilirubin by biliverdin reductase.Unconjugated...
