Gallstones lodged in the common bile duct, which can cause pain, jaundice, infection, or pancreatitis. MRI may show a dilated bile duct or larger stones; small duct stones are best confirmed with a dedicated bile-duct sequence (MRCP).
Our comprehensive check-up screens for gallstones in the bile duct (choledocholithiasis) and hundreds of other conditions.
Amylase is an enzyme that helps digest carbohydrates and is produced mainly by the pancreas and salivary glands.
Bilirubin, directDirect bilirubin forms when the liver processes bilirubin so it can be excreted.
LipaseAn enzyme produced primarily by the pancreas that helps digest fats. Significantly elevated lipase (often 3-5 times normal) strongly suggests pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis), while moderate elevations may indicate other pancreatic disorders or kidney disease.
Bilirubin, totalA yellow pigment produced when the body breaks down red blood cells. The liver processes bilirubin for elimination. Elevated total bilirubin can indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or increased red blood cell destruction.
Alkaline phosphataseFound in multiple tissues (liver, bones, kidneys, and bile ducts), this enzyme helps break down proteins and is essential for many bodily functions. In liver contexts, elevated ALP often suggests bile duct obstruction.
