Hi my name is Joanne and I am asking for my mom.  She is jaundice since Saturday and I spoke with the Doctor that day and he said we can wiat till Monday, so I took her in to the dr on Monday and he ordered blood work and her bilirubin came back high, so then he ordered an unltra sound and that now shows an enlarged Gallbladder, the gastrologist is not available to talk till tomorrow what can this be?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. This may indicate several benign or less benign diseases of liver and gallbladder or biliary ducts. In most cases this happens due to stone in biliary duct and sometimes there is a tumor as underlying cause. She should do ERCP or CT scan for further evaluation and then surgery can be planned to relieve biliary obstruction. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
