Polycystic liver disease: a study of cyst fluid constituents
Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.)
|July 1, 1982
Abstract:
Cyst fluid from a patient with polycystic liver disease was obtained by needle aspiration using ultrasound guidance. The constituents of the fluid resembled the "bile salt-independent" fraction of human bile and supports the hypothesis that such cysts are lined by a functioning, secretory bile duct epithelium.
