How bile works
Your liver makes a digestive juice called bile, and your gallbladder stores it between meals. When you eat, the gallbladder pushes bile into tubes called bile ducts, which carry it to the small intestine. Bile helps:
- break down fat;
- the liver get rid of toxins and wastes.
What can go wrong
Several diseases can block the bile ducts and disrupt the flow of bile:
- Gallstones — can raise the pressure in the gallbladder and cause a gallbladder attack; the pain usually lasts from one to several hours.
- Cancer.
- Infections.
- Birth defects, such as biliary atresia — the most common reason for liver transplants in children in the United States.
- Inflammation — can cause scarring, which over time can lead to liver failure.
