4wks to live prognosis. biliary obstruction due to tumor bilirubin level 112 which reduced to 33 after 24hr drip. pse explain how bilirubin reduced?

Bilirubin level: The only way i know to reduce your bilirubin is to relieve the obstruction of your bile duct so i don't understand how any drug could have reduced your bilirubin level. I hope someone else will chime in.
