I had an obstructive jaundice caused by a gallstone that was stuck in the common bile duct. So after 25 days the doctor removed the stone using Ercp. Bile flow is fully restored but will the jaundice cause any serious permanent damage to the liver?
Is an obstructive jaundice that is caused by a gallstone in the common bile duct that lasts for 25 days considered a chronic jaundice? My brother took 25 days to get his Ercp so the jaundice lasted that many days as well. Is it bad for his liver?
Will 25 days of common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone cause scarring of the liver? The stone is removed, bile flow restored, but will those 25 days of obstruction prior to treatment result in scarring of the liver?
I've a simple non-alcoholic fatty liver, further tests confirmed that there is no NASH. Will this NAFLD condition prevent my liver from recovering after the relief of common bile duct obstruction caused by a stone? My ERCP is done and stone removed?
Seeking second opinion, incidentally found out I have common bile duct stone but it is asymptomatic. Had pain last year but that was more like from gas, no other symptoms and no jaundice. Not sure since when the stone is here, do I need to remove it?
