The common hepatic duct is the part of the biliary tract formed by the convergence of the right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver) and the left hepatic duct (which drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver). The common hepatic duct then joins the cystic duct coming from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. The duct is usually 6–8 cm length.[2]

Clinical significance
The hepatic duct is part of the biliary tract that transports secretions from the liver into the intestines. It carries more volume in people who have had their gallbladder removed.
It is an important anatomic landmark during surgeries such as gall bladder removal. It forms one edge of Calot's triangle, along with the cystic duct and the cystic artery. All constituents of this triangle must be identified to avoid cutting or clipping the wrong structure.
There is some normal anatomic variation of the diameter.
The common hepatic duct is about 6mm in diameter in adults, with some variation.[2] A diameter of more than 8 mm is regarded as abnormal dilatation, and is a sign of cholestasis.[3]

Hepatic Manifestations of Lymphoproliferative Disorders.
Bunchorntavakul C, Reddy KR.
Clinics in liver disease. 2019 May;23(2)293-308.
Hepatic abnormalities in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders are common and can occur from direct infiltration by abnormal cells, bile duct obstruction, paraneoplastic syndrome, hemophagocytic syndrome, drug-induced liver injury, opportunistic infections, and reactivation of viral hepatitis.

Cholestasis occurs in many clinical circumstances and leads to severe liver disorders. MCC950, a small-molecule NLRP3 inhibitor, was previously shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, these effects have not yet been examined in cholestatic liver injury. This study aimed to investigate the
