Coding error?: I agree. Sounds like the more appropriate ICD-10 code for your finding was K80.20 = Calculus of gallbladder w/o cholecystitis w/o obstruction. Perhaps your provider has however other data that supports a diagnosis of cholestasis (K71.0, K83.1).

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?

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?
