A member asked:

Hi doctors i was just wondering if the kidneys had connection bile ducts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The bile ducts are in the liver, with the main bile duct coming out of the liver and ending at the small intestine. The kidneys are not related to the bile ducts. Kidneys are not connected to the liver, gallbladder, nor intestines.

Dr Chiu and 2 doctors agreed

In which situation will a doctor decide to place a stent in the common bile duct? I mean, will a doctor place a stent even if the CBD is clear or is that only used for CBD that is blocked with something?
