How To Cure Billary Stricture And Blocked Portal Vein ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome when I was 12 and have had elevated billiruban, alt and ggt since then. 2 years ago I had my gallbladder removed because I have intermittent severe pain in the RUC. Now I have been told I never had Gilbert's and should never had my gallbladder removed, I have a billary stricture and a blocked portal vein and still get the severe pain but now almost daily. The portal vein had rerouted itself and is still pumping blood to my liver. I am a 30 year old female. What could these results be?

Hello,
Mostly your problem probably can be "Portal hypertensivebiliopathy" it can occur sometimes because of obstruction of the portal vein causing the biliary stricture( Extra hepatic portal vein obstruction ), not always though. You should be evaluated for jaundice, high grade fever withchills with pain abdomen, consulting your doctor and evaluated immediately and Sometimes a diagnostic or therapeutic ERCP may b required with a surgical consultation .
