A member asked:
A concern: does choledocholithiasis that has been treated within 3 weeks of the first onset of symptoms (sudden, sharp abdominal pain and jaundice) cause secondary biliary cirrhosis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It would take chronic biliary obstruction to cause chronic liver disease such as biliary cirrhosis. In the short term, serious infection is a more likely complication.

The duration of obstruction was too short to cause biliary cirrhosis. Abstain from any alcohol intake. 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. Wish you good health!

My brother had his lunch and an hour later experienced sudden but severe abdominal pain followed by jaundice. Choledocholithiasis was confirmed with tests. Does that onset of severe sudden pain indicate acute cholestasis?
