Treatment
Mostly your sister suffers from what's called obstructive jaundice , which is a condition resulting from obstruction of the biliary tree
Obstruction can occur due to many reasons , but regarding the scenario you provide and the ultrasound results, this is mostly due stone slippage from the cystic duct which is a small tube like structure connecting the gallbladder with the biliary tree
This issue must be addressed urgently because it may lead to sepsis which results in disturbances in the vital signs and systematic toxicity
This is usually addressed by doing ERCP with an endoscopic extraction of the stones through the duodenum , and through hospitalization she should be covered with strong antibiotics and intravenous fluid and removal the gallbladder when getting better
Sometimes the condition is so severe that would require ICU admission
Diagnosis
This is usually done by physical exam and history taking and doing lab investigation like which you mentioned before, in addition to the US and ERCP and sometimes MRCP
Signs and symptoms
-jaundice
- fever
- abdominal pain
- disturbance in vital signs
- affection of mentality
- dark urine
- itching
- light stool
- others
Advice
You should contact your health provider and identify their possible diagnosis and discuss ERCP intervention

Thank you so much for the reply. But her US results shows that there are no stones and there is inflammatory changes in liver and cholycystitis. Also she is suffering from typhoid fever which I forget to mention.
