A member asked:
In chronic cholestasis, does the lack of flow of bile tend to last for many years especially where the symptoms keep coming back from time to time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well if it stops then the Gall Bladder may get infected/rupture and you get emergency surgery and may die. About the only thing to do is to take it out to stop what is going on now and to prevent rupture. Talk to others in your family as it tends to run in families.

A member asked:
If your bile ducts are partially obstructed, or your gallbladder is partially obstructed, could the lack of bile result in less fat absorption, and if so could this result in weight-loss, and belly bloating?

Does a common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone cause acute or chronic cholestasis (lack of flow of bile)?
I'm 48 and had a gallstone stuck in the bile duct which got recently removed and I'm now free of all symptoms. The removal of duct stone essentially cures the acute or chronic cholestasis and prevents any permanent damage to the liver, right?
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?
Can cholestasis of pregnancy cause long term inflammation to common bile duct? Can hormones affect liver enzymes and itching during period?
