Objective:To identify clinical features associated with biliary cast formation and review treatments. Methods:Patient records were reviewed retrospectively to identify patients who developed casts. Results:Biliary cast occurred in 15 patients among 112 cases. Conclusion:Biliary casts are more likely to develop in the setting of hepatic ischemia and biliary strictures. Endoscopic cast extraction might achieve favorable results and should be attempted before surgical therapy.
