    All forms of portosystemic shunts produce various neurological, gastrointestinal, and urinary symptoms. [3]Symptoms of congenital PSS usually appear by six months of age [4] and include failure to gain weight, vomiting, and signs of hepatic encephalopathy (a condition where toxins normally removed by the liver accumulate in the blood and impair the function of brain cells) such as seizures ...

    A portosystemic shunt or portasystemic shunt (medical subject heading term; PSS), also known as a liver shunt, is a bypass of the liver by the body's circulatory system.It can be either a congenital (present at birth) or acquired condition and occurs in humans as well as in other species of animals.

  4. Bile duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bile_duct

    The biliary tree (see below) is the whole network of various sized ducts branching through the liver.. The path is as follows: bile canaliculi → canals of Hering → interlobular bile ducts → intrahepatic bile ducts → left and right hepatic ducts merge to form → common hepatic duct exits liver and joins → cystic duct (from gall bladder) forming → common bile duct → joins with ...

    Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts are typically placed by an interventional radiologist under fluoroscopic guidance. [9] Access to the liver is gained, as the name 'transjugular' suggests, via the internal jugular vein in the neck .

    The system is usually referred to as the biliary tract or system, [9] and can include the use of the term "hepatobiliary" when used to refer just to the liver and bile ducts. [1] The name biliary tract is used to refer to all of the ducts, structures and organs involved in the production, storage and secretion of bile. [10] The tract is as follows:

  7. Intrahepatic bile ducts - Wikipedia

    Intrahepatic bile ducts compose the outflow system of exocrine bile product from the liver. They can be divided into: [2] Lobar ducts (right and left hepatic ducts) - stratified columnar epithelium. Interlobar ducts (between the main hepatic ducts and the interlobular ducts) - pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

  9. Hepatic portal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_portal_system

    Liver cirrhosis can lead to increased intrahepatic vascular resistance and vasodilation of portal system arteries, both of which increase pressure in the portal vein. [4] Color Doppler Ultrasound is the most useful imaging tool used to identify aneurysms, thrombosis, and branching patterns of the portal venous system, and to determine if ...
