Will 2 episodes of mild acute cholangitis (from stone in CBD) within a span of 10 days, cause liver cirrhosis? The second time it was only mild fever which came at night and was gone by next morning after taking antibiotic. Any chance of cirrhosis?
My brother, age 50, had bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone stuck inside it. It took him 25 days to get the stone removed using Ercp treatment. Will 25 days of obstruction become a reason for him to get liver cirrhosis in the future?
At the end of last year I had a Common Bile Duct stone and a single episode of mild Cholangitis. It took me 23 days to get my ERCP treatment. Will my liver recover completely after that incidence of Choledocolithiasis and Cholangitis?
I have been told that in biliary colic the gallstone temporarily blocks the bile duct. I have had 3 to 4 episodes of biliary colic before my GB was removed that had stones. Will those 4 episodes of biliary colic cause liver cirrhosis in the future?
