Gripping abdominal pain and jaundice
GS
is a 40 year old, slightly overweight, woman. Recently she has suffered episodes
of what she described as "gripping abdominal pain" after meals, and
she had noticed that her faeces were paler than usual, and floated in the lavatory
pan, but her urine was darker than usual.
When she visited her GP he noted that she had a sallow complexion, and the whites of her eyes were yellow.
