Intestinal mucosal barrier is a key structure that normally prevents the passage of harmful molecules across the mucosa and into the circulation, including mechanical barrier, immunological barrier, biological barrier and chemical barrier. Obstructive jaundice (OJ) is frequently associated with infectious complications, mainly due to sepsis and renal dysfunction. The key events in the pathophysiology of these complications are endotoxemia of gut origin and increased intestinal permeability because of intestinal barrier dysfunction, as demonstrated in experimental and clinical studies. However, the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon remain obscure. Here we review recent progress in understanding the pathogenesis of intestinal barrier dysfunction in OJ.
