A member asked:

Bilirubin levels very high. direct bilirubin at9.8 and total bilirubin at 10 mg/dl. assuming a gallbladder obstruction, an ercp found no stones.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bilirubin: You probably need your gall bladder taken out. Interesting that they did the ERCP and didn't recommend the surgery. Did they do an ultrasound or other imaging of the gallbladder? I would be amazed if not.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
