Frequency of common bile duct strictures in patients presenting with obstructive jaundice in Ayub teaching hospital
Keywords:
obstructive jaundice, common bile duct strictures, frequencyAbstract
Background; Obstructive jaundice in simple terms means the outflow of bile has been obstructed anywhere from the liver to the duodenum. It is caused by obstruction, blockage and/or compression of common bile duct (CBD) and/or biliary tract that leads to incomplete excretion of bile into the intestine. Patients with obstructive jaundice usually present with Complains of abdominal pain, yellow discoloration of skin and/or eyes, pale stools, dark colored urine, nausea, vomiting and pruritus. Objective: To determine frequency of common bile duct strictures in patients presenting with obstructive jaundice in Ayub teaching hospital. Material and Method. This Cross Sectional Study was conducted in the department of Gastroenterology, ATH, Abbottabad from 15th September 2020 to 15th March 2021. A total of 135 patients of both gender presenting with jaundice and having serum bilirubin ≥1.1 mg/dl, alkaline phosphatase ≥140 IU/L along with evidence of obstruction of common bile duct were included in the study. Presence of CBD stricture was confirmed through Ultrasonography or CT abdomen. Results: Age range in this study was from 20 to 80 years with mean age of 44.651±12.90 years. Female gender was dominant with 61.5% patients. Common bile duct strictures was seen in 9.6% patients.
