Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Yes bile ("pith") is secreted by the liver which flows down the bile duct in to the intestine for digestive function.

But I cannot comment on that fluid that was drained by your doctor without seeing it.
If you have a picture of it, kindly post it. I will have a look at it and give my opinion.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
