A member asked:
Hi doctor i was wondering how long does it take for a person to become jaundice after the bile ducts are blocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bile ducts: It depends on the reason for the blockage. If a bile duct becomes completely occluded abruptly, jaundice will occur within 1 to 2 days, but the length of time would vary greatly if the process slowly occludes the bile duct. Good luck.
