A member asked:
Gall bladder removed 7 years ago coz of gallstones. can i still have bile duct disease? ggt 124. other liver enzymes all normal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible, Unlikely: Some patient develop stones in the bile duct without a gallbladder. This is a pretty rare thing to happen, but it is possible. If all other liver enzymes are normal it's pretty unlikely this is what is going on. The bilirubin should be elevated.

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?

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?
