Is calcification in the liver dangerous?

Ask
Hello doctor. My mother has gallstones and had her gallbladder removed 9 years ago. To this day, her mother's health has deteriorated. My mother has yellow skin, does not eat well, or has abdominal pain. Recently, my mother went to the doctor, the ultrasound showed calcification in the liver. So, is calcification in the liver dangerous? Is there currently a good method to treat calcification in the liver? And does my mother need to abstain from foods with calcium? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. I thank you very much, Doctor.

Hello,
From your question, there are still many unanswered symptoms. Especially jaundice, abdominal pain, ... these conditions cannot be explained if there is only calcification in the liver. You should take your mother to the doctor soon to see what the jaundice is, due to pre-liver, liver or post-hepatic causes and find out the real cause to hope for successful treatment for your mother.
If you still have questions about the diagnosis and treatment of calcifications in the liver, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for an examination.
