Hi lybrate-user, in majority cases it's mandatory to remove gall bladder (GB)
It depends on many factors, like size and number of gall stones, whether those or symptomatic stones or not.
If stones are symptomatic then it's not advisable to wait for gall stones to melt by tablets. Even if there is a first or single episode of colicky pain more in upper abdomen may or may not be associated with nausea vomiting its called symptomatic stone. And symptomatic gall stones should be treated with...more

Hi my husband is 52 he was drinking 200 ml of alcohol from since 5 years everyday, he is diabetic since 10 years is on insulin 28 unit twice was taking viboliv and ursocol 450 once with vibrator, prolomet am50 and Janumet 50/1000 till march his sugar level was high 8.1 hba1c, his liver function test, lipids except triglycerides was normal, his sonogram all normal showed only grade 1 fatty liver. This condition was ok even till July, he started losing weight, and along with that his sugar level started coming to very normal 61hba1c and fasting 85 all of sudden pp 120. Then again sonogram and fibscan showed everything normal, his liver function test was quite normal so the gen physician stopped ursocol. Now in two months he has lost almost 3 kg, lot of inches, but in my back of mind I felt that something is wrong so got tested for ammonia and bun which show 80 ugdl and bun 3.2, we live in Assam which is very backwards medically, even the gastro said nothing wrong as there was not any mental confusion even ammonia was high. Then a visiting doctor suggested ct scan which indicated diffuse parenchymal changes with .portosystemic collateral in perisplenic region seen. We went to hyderabad (few minutes with Dr. Nageshwar reddy) where again a MRI was done which showed the same result as ct scan with no lesion. Doctor said his liver has 10 percent damage, condition is reversible if he does not take any alcohol. He has been advised bilefix 600 and viboliv twice along with his earlier medication. He has stopped 200 ml of scotch daily but to avoid relapse is taken 2/3 can of light beer (5/) alcohol beer alternate days and is trying to quit that also in 1 month time. Very worried is it leading to cihrossis. - [ ]

Hi, I can understand your worries. please don't panic and stick to doctor's advice. Tell your husband to have high protein diet and less spicy and fat free diet. Do regular blood tests and other tests. Take information from Google but don't conclude them on your own. If you have any doubt clear them with the doctor.

Good morning,
It seems like a very complicated scenario and your attempt to describe his symptoms and problems seems to be very clear. It is very likely that cirrhosis has made his medical condition worse. I believe you need to closely monitor his kidney and liver functions and day to day activities. If in case any problems arise due to his condition becoming bad (as per your observation) he would need immediate admission. However, for now, it seems like his condition is stable on medication...more

Udiliv is the right medicine for your problem. Higher bile acid level is a common cause of itching in pregnancy. Do not worry about this but for symptomatic relief you can use Zincal lotion or Calamine lotion locally.

No amount of alcohol is safe. Abstinence from alcohol and medicine for existing symptoms is must. Apart from this take a help from addiction therapist to understand abstinence based problems, craving management and also understand how to use anxiety management techniques. Best wishes for long lasting recovery!
