       KNOW THE




       SIGNS OF





       OBSTRUCTIVE





       JAUNDICE






       A blocked and infected biliary


       tree is a medical emergency






             ost of the time, we are unaware of our
             body’s biliary system and the integral
      Mrole it plays in digestion and maintaining
       our overall health. A blockage of the biliary
       tree – a branched system of ducts that conveys
       bile from the liver to the gastrointestinal system
       – can quickly progress to a life threatening
       emergency.

       Dr Zain Ally, a hepatobiliary surgeon, who
       practises at Netcare Sunninghill Hospital, gives
       us some advice on what everyone should know
       about obstructive jaundice, the underlying
       conditions that may cause this, the potential
       complications, and the treatments available.
