A member asked:
Does a gallstone caused lack of bile flow mostly be considered once the patient has visible symptoms of jaundice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either a complete obstruction of the bile duct by gallstone or pancreatic mass can cause OBSTRUCTIVE jaundice. However, there are many liver diseases (biliary or parenchymal disease) also cause jaundice without the true flow obstruction.
