Jaundice
Jaundice doesn't occur when biliary colic is induced by an obstruction in the cystic duct. If there's a blockage in the common bile duct, however, this can prevent the normal flow of bile and lead to jaundice.
With jaundice a person's skin and eyes appear yellow, and they may also experience dark urine, light-colored stools and other symptoms. An individual should seek medical advice when biliary colic has associated jaundice.6‘Biliary Colic and Complications from Gallstones.’ Best Practice Advocacy Centre New Zealand, bpac.org.nz/bpj/2014/june/gallstones.aspx
