Biliary tract disorders

Mathematical and Computer-Assisted Procedures in the Diagnosis of Liver and Biliary Tract Disorders... 

For biliary tract disorders, add Herba Artemisiae Capillaris (Yin Chen), Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Dan Shen), Tuber Curcumae (Yu Jin), Radix Rubrus Paeoniae Lactiflorae (Chi Shao), and Herba Desmodii (Jin Qian Cao). 

Docetaxel Neutropenia (DLT), hyperlacrimation, fluid retention, nail disorders, myelosuppression Use with caution in liver dysfunction. Do not give if biliary tract is obstructed. Premedicate dexamethasone. 

IR concentrated oral solution and tablets/suppositories - Respiratory insufficiency or depression severe CNS depression attack of bronchial asthma heart failure secondary to chronic lung disease cardiac arrhythmias increased intracranial or CSF pressure head injuries brain tumor acute alcoholism delirium tremens convulsive disorders after biliary tract surgery suspected surgical abdomen surgical anastomosis concomitantly with MAOIs or within 14 days of such treatment paralytic ileus. 

Biliary tract For spastic disorders of the biliary tract. Given in conjunction with a narcotic analgesic. 

Tertiary amines used for their antispasmodic properties are dicyclomine hydrochloride (Ben-tyl, others), oxyphencyclimine hydrochloride (daricon), flavoxate hydrochloride (Uripas), and oxyburynin chloride (Ditropan). The latter two are indicated specifically for urological disorders. These agents appear to exert some nonspecific direct relaxant effect on smooth muscle. In therapeutic doses they decrease spasm of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, ureter, and uterus characteristic atropine-like effects on the salivary glands and the eye also are seen with oxybutynin. 

Codeine and morphine should be used with caution in hypotension, hypothyroidism, asthma (avoid during an attack) and decreased respiratory reserve, shock, prostatic hypertrophy, obstructive or inflammatory bowel disorders, diseases of the biliary tract, pregnancy and breastfeeding. They may precipitate coma in patients with hepatic impairment and as such, they should be avoided or a reduced dose used. In patients with renal impairment, the dose should be reduced or they should be avoided. If used in the elderly and debilitated, the dose should be reduced. 

The Swedish adverse drug reactions register, SWEDIS, received 149 case reports of 157 adverse reactions associated with disulfiram from 1971 to 1999, of which 63 cited disorders of the liver and biliary tract (26). Of these 63 reports, seven were classified as serious. In three cases of severe liver damage with a fatal outcome, disulfiram was suspected to have caused the reaction. If signs of liver damage appear, it is recommended that disulfiram be withdrawn and liver function tests performed. 

Elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase and GGT occur with obstructive disorders that disrupt the flow of bile from the hepatocytes to the bile ductules, or from the biliary tree to the intestines. Examples of the former include primary biliary cirrhosis and drug-induced cholestasis examples of the latter include gallstone disease and malignancies of the pancreas and bile ducts. In liver disease, the levels of GGT correlate well with elevations of the alkaline phosphatase, and their combination is a sensitive and specific marker for biliary tract disease. ... 

Chlorprothixene (25 to 50 mg p.o. t.i.d.) is indicated in the management of manifestations of psychotic disorders. Chlorprothixene is absorbed rapidly, distributed throughout the body, is bound to plasma protein to the extent of 90 to 95%, and is excreted mostly unchanged via the biliary tract in feces. It exerts its antipsychotic effects in part by blocking dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic and mesocortical systems and like chlorpromazine, it produces movement disorders such as parkinsonism (see also Table 2).

Pulmonary COPD, skeletal disorders which may restrict respiratory function Endocrine Addison s disease, thyroid dysfunction Gastrointestinal hepatic impairment, biliary tract impairment... 

Use in biliary surgery or disorders of the biliary tract as significant morphine is released into the systemic circulation from neuraxial administration, the ensuing smooth muscle hypertonicity may result in biliary colic. 

A disorder in which functioning liver tissue is replaced by a type of scar tissue. Cirrhosis may be due to (1) alcoholism, (2) infections, (3) disorders of the biliary tract, or (4) nutritional deficiencies. People may recover from mild cases of cirrhosis with only a small loss of liver function. However, advanced cases usually result in liver failure and death.

It follows that any condition that does not permit full use of the antihemorrhagic agents or the production of prothrombin would lead to increased clotting time or hemorrhagic disorders. Some of these conditions are (o) faulty absorption cau.sed by several disorders (e.g.. ob.structivc jaundice, biliary fistulas, intestinal polypo.sis. chronic ulcerative colitis, intestinal fistula, intestinal obstruction, and sprue) (h) damaged livers or primary hepatic disea.ses (c.g.. atrophy, cirrhosis. or chronic hepatitis) (c) insufficient amounts of bile or abnormal bile in the intestinal tract and (d) insufficient amounts of vitamin K.
