A member asked:

How long will jaundice last after a stent has been inserted to clear a bile duct in the gallbladder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Phillip Goebel answered

Usually 2-3 days: It can take several days for the jaundice to clear after the obstruction is opened by the stent.

Is an obstructive jaundice that is caused by a gallstone in the common bile duct that lasts for 25 days considered a chronic jaundice? My brother took 25 days to get his Ercp so the jaundice lasted that many days as well. Is it bad for his liver?
