  • Light-colored stools
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and chills
  • Abdominal pain, often in the upper right or upper middle region
  • Jaundice, causing yellowing of the skin and eyes
  • Back pain, especially if the stone affects the pancreas

Complications of pancreatic or bile duct stones may include inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), infection in the bile duct (cholangitis), and obstruction of the bile ducts. In severe cases, these stones can cause liver damage.
