[|Human|] hi, my father had elevated liver enzymes, especially bilirubin around 3.7, admitted to the hospital with sharp abdominal pain. after all the tests performed, gallstone 0.3 cm was found and removed during ERCP test. Inflammation and infection around the area were the sharp stone was is now treated with Cipro+Flagyl. 2 days after the gallstone removed, pain is gone, but bilirubin levels are not going down. Any ideas why?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for your query on Chat Doctor. It seems your father has gallstone with obstruction of bile duct due to which the liver enzymes and bilirubin has elevated. As stone is removed through ERCP and treating with antibiotics, the obstruction will get relived and bilirubin will decrease. Bilirubin gets decreased gradually once obstruction is being removed so nothing to worry. It will take some time for bilirubin to decrease. Hope I have answered your query. Regards.
