DISSCUSION

Page 16: case  of obstructive  jaundice

Obstructive Jaundice Pathogenesis it is due to intra- and extra hepatic obstruction of

bile ducts intrahepatic Jaundice: Hepatitis, PBC, Drugs Extra Hepatic Biliary Obstruction: Stones, Stricture,

Inflammation, Tumors, (Ampulla of Vater)

pain, due to gallbladder disease, ma-lignancy, or stretching of the liver capsule

fever, due to ascending cholangitis palpable and / or tender gallbladder enlarged liver, usually smooth

Page 20: case  of obstructive  jaundice

General signs of cholestasis

xanthomas: palmar creases, below the breast, on the neck. They indicate raised serum cholesterol of several months. Xanthomas on the tendon sheaths are uncommonly associated with cholestasis.

xanthelasma on the eyelids scratch marks: excoriation finger clubbing loose, pale, bulky, offensive stools dark orange urine
