Hi,
This may be caused by some surgery complications such as common bile duct injury or liver injury but also by some new disorders such as common bile duct stone liver hepatitis or medications side effects. She should do ultrasound, CT scan or ERCP for further evaluation and also check bilirubin levels and viral markers.I hope I have answered you query.
