A member asked:
Why do some people have jaundice with cholecystitis?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stones: Gallstones can sometimes move from the gallbladder into the bile duct causing blockage of the bile from the liver, resulting in yellow jaundice. Sometimes this can also be associated with pancreatitis. Abdominal pain and vomiting can also occur.
