Hi.
Thanks for a good history.
This is classical of an obstruction in the bile ducts, either by stone or any other cause.
I would advise ultrasonography of abdomen, blood tests including those of liver function tests , kidney function tests, Serum lipase and amylase. This will give the site of obstruction and its effects.
You may need a MRI study, ERCP and further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
