Abstract

Background/Aims: Obstructive jaundice is an important clinical problem. It may cause complications such as renal insufficiency, cardiovascular sequels, coagulation defects, gastrointestinal bleeding, delayed wound healing, secondary biliary cirrhosis and sepsis. We investigated the effect of GM-CSF on immunological parameters in the experimental obstructive jaundice.
