Have Gallstones. Had Taken Udiliv. What Does Bilirubin Content In LFT Report Show?

Hello,
I am having gall stone which needs to be operated. Doctor told me that it can be operated after LFT report is normal. I had taken antibiotic for 5 days & was on udiliv for 2 weeks & now on udibon for 1 week. My LFT report is almost same as last week. Bilirubin total=1.54, Bilirubin direct=0.31, Bilirubin indirect =1.23. Is this safe to get operated?

Hello,
Since your bilirubin levels are almost near normal,you can be operated for gall bladder removal,however you would require proper investigations to be done like ERCP,so that any chance of any intra bile duct stone is eliminated.
Thanks
