A member asked:

A little doubt on this thing: Recently my friend had a common bile duct blockage from a stone which caused him jaundice and elevation of LFTs. What exactly causes jaundice and temporarily affects the liver in this case of obstruction?

A member asked:

I had obstructive jaundice caused by CBD obstruction from gallstone. It took me 25 days for Ercp and my jaundice lasted for 25 days (total bilirubin 1.8). The levels came back to normal after Ercp but will 25 days of jaundice cause liver cirrhosis?

A little doubt: Does only mild yellowing of the eye and no yellowing of the skin (from bile duct obstruction of a gallstone) indicate mild jaundice?

A member asked:

Mild abdominal pain, ultrasound suggested a stone in CBD. No jaundice and LFTs normal. Getting ERCP soon. Just want to know, since there is no jaundice and only mild abdominal pain, does it mean the obstruction is not causing harm to the liver yet?

A member asked:

Does a jaundice from a bile duct obstruction of a gallstone cause visible symptoms like yellowing of the eyes/skin or does the jaundice in this case tend to remain silent while abdominal pain etc act as more common symptoms?
