Obstruction of the Common Bile Duct Causes

Question

Obstruction of the common bile duct causes
A) pain in the RLQ.
B) GERD.
C) jaundice.
D) lactose intolerance.

Accepted Answer

Obstruction of the common bile duct can cause a buildup of bile in the liver, leading to jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Pain in the RLQ (right lower quadrant) may be indicative of appendicitis, while GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and lactose intolerance are not related to the bile duct.
