Large gallstones like 78 mm don’t dissolve well; ursodiol can help in small stones—avoid fatty foods, alcohol, and fried items.

Question

My mom's got an 11mm gallbladder but she doesn't show any symptoms. What options do we have to clear it up? Does she need surgery, or is there a chance it could resolve on its own? I'm really looking for some guidance on the best steps to take.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She had an ultrasound a couple of days ago, and it said her liver is bigger than normal at 159 mm with mildly increased echotexture. Theres no sign of dilated IHBR or any abscess. Most other organs like her gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and uterus seem normal, but she has been feeling nauseous consistently for the last 10 days and it's hard for her to eat. She has diabetes and high blood pressure for which she's on medication. What do you think could be causing these symptoms, and what should we do next?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom's blood test results. Her direct bilirubin level is 0.32, and I'm seeing the normal level should be around 0.3 mgdL. Is this level something to be concerned about, or is it within a normal range? Her total bilirubin is 1.14, with direct bilirubin at 0.32 and indirect bilirubin at 0.82. Could you help me understand if these levels are okay?
