- Abstract
The development of biliary cast syndrome (BCS) is very rare, mostly documented in patientswith liver transplantation. The etiology of BCS is unknown; however, risk factors include post-liver transplant bile duct injury, ischemia, infection, fasting, parenteral feeding, and increased bile viscosity and gallbladder dysmotility. We present the case of a 41-year-old man who developed BCS secondary to a prolonged intensive care unit course without a liver transplant. This case highlights the importance of monitoring patients with protracted intensive care unit course and abnormal aminotransferases to recognize and timely manage cholangiopathy and BCS-related complications.
