A member asked:

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?

A member asked:

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?

A member asked:

Will 26 days of biliary obstruction caused by a gallstone cause liver cirrhosis? The stone is removed with ERCP and bile flow is fully restored but will 26 days of blockage prior to the treatment cause cirrhosis in the future?

A member asked:

Does Biliary Dykskinesia typically cause gallstones and/or increase in sludge? If so, how often do stones/sludge get stuck in the common bile duct?

A member asked:

2cm shadowing stone in the fundus. No pericholecystic fluid seen. No biliary ductal dilation seen, the common bile duct measures 5 mm. Meaning?

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?

Hello doctor/s, just a doubt to clear. Does choledocholithiasis and the obstruction of the bile duct for around 4 weeks cause secondary biliary cirrhosis?

Hello! Just a concern, does a single episode of a very short duration of Ascending Cholangitis (due to gallstone in the bile duct) cause secondary biliary cirrhosis?

I'm concerned: Does having a gallstone in the bile duct mean that period of cholestasis will inevitably cause liver cirrhosis in the future despite the stone already removed?

Does a common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone that lasts for 26 days (counted from the day of first symptoms) progress to liver cirrhosis? The stone has been removed, bile flow is fully back. Will the duration of 26 days progress to cirrhosis?
