Results: There were 149 male and 78 female patients. Overall, raised total bilirubin was 62.6%, raised alkaline phosphate was 33.5%, and raised gamma GT was 40.5% patients. CBD stone in ERCP was found in 26.0% patients. Significant association of raised total bilirubin, raised alkaline phosphate, raised gamma GT, and serum amylase with CBD stone in ERCP was observed.

Conclusion: Patients with gallstone pancreatitis and deranged liver function test had increased risk of CBD stones. ERCP is the gold-standard for evaluation of morphological changes in the pancreas.
