Your jaundice could be resolved when the underlying pathology is identified and treated. It is possible that you have an obstruction most probably from a stone or a tumor lesion somewhere along your hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics such as ultrasound, ct-scan, ERCPMRCP, liver function tests, bilirubin, blood count, etc. and management medical andor surgical if indications are found will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!! Chat Doctor.
