Abstract
- Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage is an intervention for obstructive jaundice that, although effective in decreasing bilirubin levels, often leads to depletion of regular bile acids that subsequently cause malabsorption, diarrhea, and acute kidney injury. Bile reinfusion (BR) is a method of enteral refeeding of biliary secretions to replenish innate bile acids to the patient. In addition, BR is a low-cost alternative to exogenous bile acid replacement and abates the need for inpatient fluid resuscitation. We report oral BR in a patient with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage due to choledocholithiasis and review the literature on BR.
