I have hepatitis c and gallstones will the gallstones irritate my liver more.?

Answer 1

Yes it can. I had gall stones 2 years ago. When I first started showing symptoms, it was already a severe case sending me to the ER. They misdiagnosed it and sent me home with a prescription for antacid. A couple of weeks later when the symptoms escalated I returned to the ER and left yet again with another incorrect diagnosis. Eventually on the third visit a few days later they finally discovered the stones. They opted for emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder. As I was being prepped for surgery, the results of the last tests came in and showed the inflammation in my liver and pancreas. It took about 2 weeks to stabilize my liver and pancreas before the surgery could be safely performed.

So in answer to your question it DOES irritate your liver.

Answer 2

Yes, gallstones may cause inflammation in the biliary tract which is within the liver. I would recommend that you see a gastroenterologist, who might be able to reassure you and arrange to have your gallstones removed via endoscopic surgery.

Answer 3

Yes gall stones can . Now for the good news go to utopiasilver.com order the advanced formula of colloidal silver I take one half oz. 4 times a day my blood count is near normal and has been for 5 years. It is now the only thing I take we threw all other meds in the trash 3 years ago.
The only side affect is loose bowels this I can live with the hep C out of control I was dying. at first I used it in conjunction with all my other meds. then as my count came down I was able to stop some and now I am to none.
May God bless you and your health

Answer 4

I don't think so but you need to ask your hepatologist to see. I mean, if it doesn't hurt more now and you already have the gallstones, the obvious answer is no. Good luck with the Hepc though.....I have it too.
