A member asked:
When an ercp report says "clear cbd", does it generally mean the cbd has no stones and no strictures/narrowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An "ERCP" showing "clear common bile duct (CBD)" is usually consistent with lack of obstruction.

Mild abdominal pain, ultrasound suggested a stone in CBD. No jaundice and LFTs normal. Getting ERCP soon. Just want to know, since there is no jaundice and only mild abdominal pain, does it mean the obstruction is not causing harm to the liver yet?
