Explain of Hepatic Pathology

31.Intrahepatic lithiasis, liver, gross

Here is an example of intrahepatic obstruction with a small stone in an intrahepatic bile duct. This could produce a localized cholestasis, but the serum bilirubin would not be increased, because there is plenty of non-obstructed liver to clear the bilirubin from the blood. However, the serum alkaline phosphatase is increased with biliary tract obstruction at any level.
