What is Common Bile Duct Stones Overview about?
Choledocholithiasis refers to stones in the common bile duct. Symptoms range from none to jaundice, fever, and chills. Diagnostic tests show elevated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase levels. Ultrasound cannot detect stones but can show duct dilation. ERCP or PTC are used to detect and treat stones. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage, and ERCP/PTC with sphincterotomy or surgery to remove stones and the gallbladder.
