Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
noted history of jaundice associated with pruritus (generalized itchiness). it is possible that your son has an obstruction (from a stone or a lesion) somewhere along his hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree causing his jaundice. deposit of bile salts causes his pruritus. it is best if you bring him to a doctor, preferably a general surgeon or a gastroenterologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, ct-scan, MRCP/ERCP, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
