My sister and I, both when we were in high school had a congenital condition where our bile ducts were "tied in a knot", tightening over the years, until no bile could get through. This caused, jaundice, itching, weight loss and eventually surgery for a cholecystecomy. I have been trying to find out what this condition is called, but the hospital where we had the surgery doesn't have the records anymore (too long) I have been unsuccessful in locating the abnormality name on the computer. Do you have any insight? I was told at the time it was extremely rare and that we were inserted "in the books"
