| biliary | <anatomy> Pertaining to the bile, to the bile ducts or to the gallbladder. (13 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| biliary calculus | <gastroenterology, surgery> A solid formation in the gallbladder composed of cholesterol and bile salts. (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary canaliculus | One of the intercellular channels, about 1 um or less in diameter, that occurs between liver cells forming the first portion of the bile system. Synonym: bile capillary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary cirrhosis | <gastroenterology> A rare form of liver disease which results in the irreversible destruction of the liver and bile ducts. The cause is unknown, but is thought to be an autoimmune mechanism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary colic | Intense spasmodic pain felt in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen from impaction of a gallstone in the cystic duct. Synonym: gallstone colic, hepatic colic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary duct | <anatomy> A duct that carries bile from the liver and gallbladder to the duodenum (first part of the small intestine). (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary ductules | The excretory ducts of the liver that connect the interlobular ductules to the right (or left) hepatic duct. Synonym: ductuli biliferi, canalicular ducts, ductus biliferi, tubuli biliferi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary dyskinesia | Structural or functional abnormality of the sphincter of Oddi that interferes with bile drainage. Synonym: biliary dyskinesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary endoprosthesis | <surgery> A tube inserted into a narrowed or blocked bile duct to improve bile flow. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biliary fever of dogs | A form of babesiosis (piroplasmosis) of the dog characterised by fever and icterus and caused by Babesia canis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary fever of horses | <veterinary> A disease of horses caused by species of Babesia and characterised by high fever, icterus, and enlargement of the spleen and lymph nodes. Synonym: biliary fever of horses, equine biliary fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biliary fistula | Abnormal passage communicating with the biliary tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biliary obstruction | <gastroenterology, surgery> A blockage of the bile ducts can occur by a stone, tumour, pancreas (pancreatic tumour or swelling), bile duct inflammation, bile duct cysts, trauma, bile duct stricture or enlarged lymph nodes in the area. When bile duct obstruction occurs, bile accumulates in the liver and jaundice develops due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the bloodstream. (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary peritonitis | <surgery> Inflammation of the peritoneum which is cause by the escape of bile into the peritoneal cavity. (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary scan | <investigation, radiology> A test that uses a radioactive tracer to look for bile duct obstruction or gallbladder inflammation. A special tracer is injected into a vein that tends to collect primarily in the liver. It is then excreted in the bile where it makes its way to the gallbladder. A gamma camera measures the tracer (radioactivity) and generates an image of the gallbladder and biliary system. (27 Sep 1997) |
| biliary atresia |
A congenital (developmental) malformation of the biliary tract where the biliary ductules outside the liver do not form to collect the bile from the liver cells to bring it out into the intestine. According to the degree or severity of the defect, there may be different types which usually involve the gallbladder. biliary cirrhosis see primary biliary cirrhosis and secondary cirrhosis
