01

## Assessment

A detailed history, examination, blood tests and imaging may be needed. The urgency and test sequence depend on symptoms and previous findings.

02

## Related bile-duct problems

The bile duct and pancreatic duct meet near the small intestine, so stones, narrowing and inflammation can sometimes affect both systems.

03

## Possible procedures

Some patients may need specialised imaging, endoscopic ultrasound, ERCP or referral to a multidisciplinary team. A consultation determines the appropriate next step.

04

## Seek urgent care

Severe persistent upper abdominal pain, repeated vomiting, fainting, breathing difficulty, fever or jaundice with acute illness needs urgent assessment.
