Brief Answer: More investigations & Gastroenterologist follow up Detailed Answer: Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic The two are not related / nor one is leading to another You need more investigations – starting from blood counts and liver function Cholelithiasis (Gal l stones) when asymptomatic – needs no interference / the gall bladder may have to be taken out at times, depending on the clinical situation You need examination and follow up by a Hepatologist (gastroenterologist) Good luck Take care Wishing all well God bless
