A member asked:

Does a common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone that lasts for 26 days (counted from the day of first symptoms) progress to liver cirrhosis? The stone has been removed, bile flow is fully back. Will the duration of 26 days progress to cirrhosis?

A member asked:

My brother, age 50, had bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone stuck inside it. It took him 25 days to get the stone removed using Ercp treatment. Will 25 days of obstruction become a reason for him to get liver cirrhosis in the future?

A member asked:

What can cause recurrent gallstones in the bile ducts and liver every year when gallbladder was removed years ago?

A member asked:

I had an obstructive jaundice caused by a gallstone that was stuck in the common bile duct. So after 25 days the doctor removed the stone using Ercp. Bile flow is fully restored but will the jaundice cause any serious permanent damage to the liver?

A member asked:

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?

Gall bladder removed 7 years ago coz of gallstones. Can I still have bile duct disease? GGT 124. Other liver enzymes all normal.

I have been told that in biliary colic the gallstone temporarily blocks the bile duct. I have had 3 to 4 episodes of biliary colic before my GB was removed that had stones. Will those 4 episodes of biliary colic cause liver cirrhosis in the future?

I'm concerned: Does having a gallstone in the bile duct mean that period of cholestasis will inevitably cause liver cirrhosis in the future despite the stone already removed?

I'm 48 and had a gallstone stuck in the bile duct which got recently removed and I'm now free of all symptoms. The removal of duct stone essentially cures the acute or chronic cholestasis and prevents any permanent damage to the liver, right?

Will 25 days of common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone cause scarring of the liver? The stone is removed, bile flow restored, but will those 25 days of obstruction prior to treatment result in scarring of the liver?
