If the obstruction does not recur you are not at risk of cirrhosis from this episode. Do not drink alcohol. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

3 months ago my brother had a bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone so 25 days later he was treated with ERCP and the stone was extracted. He had no past issues with liver. My only question is, will Choledocholithiasis cause liver cirrhosis?
