Diseases of the liver and biliary tract

Polycystic liver disease

Polycystic liver disease is a rare genetic disorder in which multiple fluid cysts form inside the liver.

Biliary sludge of the gallbladder

Biliary sludge (or bile sludge) is a condition in which the bile in the gallbladder or bile ducts becomes thicker and less fluid.

Flakes in the gallbladder

Flakes in the gallbladder can be an indicator of various pathologic conditions.

Such a pathological condition as liver atrophy (from Greek trophe - nutrition with the negative prefix a-) means a decrease in the functional mass of the liver - a reduction in the number of cells capable of ensuring the full function of this organ.

A condition in which a large amount of purulent discharge accumulates in the gallbladder without the ability to exit is called empyema of the gallbladder.

Bile stasis

Among digestive pathologies, gastroenterologists distinguish bile stasis, which is a syndrome indicating problems in the functioning of the hepatobiliary system: the liver, which produces bile, the gallbladder (a bile depot where it becomes more concentrated) or the biliary transport network (intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts).

Liver abscess

This is the development of an inflammatory process in the liver tissues to the point of their necrosis and the formation of a cavity with purulent contents.
