Is there any relation of gall bladder thickening and stone with jaundice? A patient when tested with ultrsound for yellowishness and weekness (jaundice) shows that there is gallstone accompanied by thickening of wall. Can gall disease like thickening lead to jaundice? Or, can jaundice induce thickening of gall baldder walls? What are the possible dangers?

The gall bladder problems are causing the jaundice. Sound like there may be an obstruction in the bile duct causing bile to backup and leak. It's not being excreted. Have it checked. If it is cholelitiasis or cholecystitis, have the gallbladder removed. You don't need it. Typically it is an outpatient procedure so you should go home the same day. Now if there is painless jaundice have it checked soon because it is a sign of pancreatic cancer. Just go see your MD.

Actually, more than likely, the liver is causing the gallbladder issues AND the build up of jaundice symptoms.
The first sign for many folks of liver disease is gallbladder disease-something many docs don't tell a person.
I would certainly get an appointment with a gastro ASAP and go from there!
Good Luck!
