Laboratory Findings

• Elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT)
• Leukocytosis
• Elevated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase may or may not be present.
• High levels of CA 19-9 may be present. Hence, it is important to rule out Mirizzi's syndrome before labeling and incorrectly diagnosing the patient for having a biliary malignancy.
