Dilated bile ducts

[Y-now]

I was in the er on the 4th of july. The gave me a contrasted cat scan

I told the Dr I had PBC. But he didn't know much about it.

The report said my bile ducts were dialated

Is that bad? Or common with pbc?

Y-now,

Is there any way we can converse?

Do you still have your gallbladder? What's the size of your bile duct?

Mine is 8mm (normal should be < 5mm). My doctor says 8mm is normal for people who had gallbladder surgery.

[Y-now in reply to JaneIng]

I have to get the report to find out exact numbers.

But that is helpful. They removed my gallbladder lyear ago June.

I was told I had a dilated bile duct at my first scan when I was originally diagnosed with PBC. They said I could have passed a stone as this sometimes causes it.
