Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This means that there are small stones in gallbladder and it may have caused liver inflammation so she should have frequent follow ups of ultrasound and liver enzymes to see are these stones growing. She should follow hepatic diet and avoid alcohol in future.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
