My husband had obstructive jaundice due to a gall stone. At the time of admittance to hospital his billiruben total was a (9 night before admittance)  It went up to 11 and then 12.9. What is a dangerous level or range? How urgent was a MRI/MRCP needed? How urgent would an ERCP be needed to retrieve the obstructing the common bile duct? How fast should a doctor act upon things?
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI really appreciate your concern, look mam the clinical symptoms is matter, even if the serum bilirubin level is low and the clinical condition is sever then this has to be managed accordingly and if the condition is asymptomatic and the level of bilirubin is high then this is not emergency, hope this information may help you take care and have nice day.
