Answer given below
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for uploading the reports.
MRCP not showing any stone or obstruction in the common bile duct.
You need not wait for alkaline phosphatase to come to baseline.
The value of 148 is not significantly high.
Your wife can go ahead with surgery on a planned date. It is not an emergency.

Hi Sir..
Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
Yesterday i had consulated with Dr.Pooran XXXXXXX MD,DM Gastro.of Fortis XXXXXXX and he suggested to go for Endoscopic Ultrsound(EUS) as Alkaline Phosphate is almost on same level and not reducing significantly since last 3 weeks so suspecting for still having some bile duct blockage.
So kindly suggest whether we may go for EUS and same test may cause any complication.
