[|Human|] hi iwas rushed into hospital last wk with severe abdominal pain (upper) my bloods were showing problems with my liver and billirubin was high, they think a gallstone may be stuck somewhere, i had the all bladder removed in September. I have a constant ache just under my right ribs to the side and hv had this for months, would a stone cause the lfts to be raised?
[|AI|]  Yes sometimes a stone can impact the Common bile duct - this can happen even after the gall bladder is removed because a new stone may develop in the bile duct. You need to get the following tests done : 1. Complete LFT2. Ultrasound of abdomen 3. Amylase and lipase If the ultrasound shows dilated CBD / stone-you need to go for an MRCP to see for impacted stones- if such are present then an ERCP can be done to remove it...
