Hi.noted history of jaundice. 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, ERCP/MRCP, liver function tests, bilirubin, blood count, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
