    SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM Obstructive Jaundice

    Uploaded by

    Obstructive jaundice can be caused by predisposing factors like abdominal injuries or gallstones, or precipitating factors like a pancreatic head tumor or inappropriate over-the-counter drug use. A tumor blocking the bile duct leads to an obstruction of bile flow to the intestines, impairing digestion and causing bile to accumulate in the blood and deposit in the skin, mucus membranes, and sclera, resulting in jaundiced skin and eyes along with abdominal pain and itching.
