Hello,
A condition called cholestasis with decreased bile flow caused by a blockage of the bile duct can lead to high bilirubin levels.
The blockage of the bile duct can result from the gallstone.
I suggest consulting a surgeon to treat the gallstone through surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
