Cholangiography, percutaneous transhepatic

Cholangiography, percutaneous transhepatic

Radiographic examination of the liver and bile ducts done by inserting a thin needle through the skin into the liver and injecting contrast medium in order to visualize blockage of the liver and bile ducts.

RELATED TERMS
--------------------------------------

Liver
The largest organ in the body. The liver carries out many important functions, such as making bile, changing food into energy, and cleaning alcohol and poisons from the blood.

Bile
Fluid made by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile helps break down fats and gets rid of wastes in the body.

Skin
Skin is an organ of the integumentary system; which is composed of a layer of tissues that protect underlying muscles and organs. Skin is used for insulation, vitamin D production, sensation, and excretion (through sweat).

Contrast
"Short for ""contrast media."" Contrast media are X-ray dyes used to provide contrast, for example, between blood vessels and other tissue."

Cholera genome
The genome of the bacterium called Vibrio cholerae that causes cholera. This genome contains over 4 million bases in its DNA including the sequences for nearly 4,000 genes.

Cholestasis
Blocked bile ducts often caused by gallstones.

Cholestasis with peripheral pulmonary stenosis
Also known as arteriohepatic dysplasia or Alagille syndrome, this ia a genetic disorder characterized by yellowing of the skin (jaundice) in the newborn period, liver disease with cholestasis, peripheral pulmonic stenosis and unusual face. Children with Alagille syndrome usually present with jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes) in the newborn period. Cholestasis (stagnant flow of bile from the liver) then develops with puritis (itching), stools without the usual yellowing brown color, and enlargement of the liver and spleen. Peripheral pulmonic stenosis is a form of congenital heart disease (CHD). Other types of CHD also occur. The face has deep- set eyes, broad forehead, long nose with flat tip, prominence of the chin, and low-set or malformed ears. The outlook (prognosis) depends upon the degree of severity of the CHD and the liver disease (it can cause liver failure). The condition is an autosomal dominant trait meaning that the gene for it is on a non-sex chromosome (an autosome) and a single edition of the Alagille gene is sufficient to produce the disease. The gene has been discovered on chromosome 20 in band 20p12

Cholesteatoma
A tumor-like mass that sometimes forms as a result of a chronic middle ear infection.

Cholesterol
A substance similar to fat that is found in the blood, muscles, liver, brain, and other body tissues.

Cholesterol ester transfer protein
A protein that helps regulate the size of cholesterol particles and influence the process of atherogenesis (the formation of plaques in arteries). Abbreviated CETP. The CETP gene is in chromosome band 16q21. A number of mutations are known in the CETP gene. Some result in CEPT deficiency, increased levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol and unusually large cholesterol particles. CETP deficiency appears to be a good mutation which is antiatherogenic and may confer unusual longevity to the person. Also called cholesteryl ester transfer protein.

Cholesterol guidelines
The guidelines on cholesterol for adults.

Cholestin

PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS
--------------------------------------

Choanal
Pertaining to the choana, the passageway from the back of one side of the nose to the throat. The choana is shaped like an inverted funnel which opens into the upper throat. The choanae must be open to permit breathing through the nose. Choanal atresia is blockage of the choanal passageway while choanal stenosis is narrowing of that passageway. The word choanal is pronounced co-anal but it has nothing to do with the anus.

Choanal atresia
Blockage of the choana, the passageway from the back of one side of the nose to the throat. The choana is shaped like an inverted funnel which opens into the upper throat. There are two choanae. The choanae must be open to permit breathing through the nose. Choanal atresia can occur as an isolated birth defect in an otherwise normal baby or it may be part of a syndrome such as the CHARGE association. Surgery is needed to repair choanal atresia.

Choanal stenosis
Abnormal narrowing of the choana, the passageway from the back of one side of the nose to the throat. The choana is shaped like an inverted funnel which opens into the upper throat. There are two choanae. The choanae must be open to permit breathing through the nose. Choanal stenosis can occur as an isolated birth defect in an otherwise normal baby or it may be part of a syndrome. Surgery is needed to repair choanal stenosis.

Chocolate
A food or flavoring made from the seeds of the cacao or chocolate tree. Chocolate is rich in flavinoids, compounds that act as antioxidants. Flavinoids may also lower blood pressure and improve blood flow, by regulating the synthesis of nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels. Flavinoids, like aspirin, help keep platelets from aggregating on vessel walls. Thus, chocolate may have health benefits, provided it is consumed in moderation.

Cholangiogram
