Hello!
Thank you for the query.
1. Gallbladder with small calculi should be removed by laparoscopy as small stones bring risk of bile ducts obstruction and acute pancreatitis.
2. Chronic liver parenchymal disease most likely means that you have fatty liver. You should avoid alcohol, fatty foods, spicy foods, medicines involving liver to reverse fatty liver process.
3. Mild degree of splenomegaly should be consulted with hematologist as this can be a symptom of many many diseases including leukemia, liver hypertension, infectious diseases.
4. CBD borderline dilated can be caused by sludge or small stones inside. I suggest you to have liver tests (AST,ALT,GGTP,AP), lipase, amylase, bilirubin checked.
He should be operated anyways as small stones are more prone to move to bile ducts and cause acute pancreas disease.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
