Black stools after ERCP

2022-12-11 13:49:10
My father had a stone blocking the bile duct due to which doctors performed ERCP two days ago. Since yesterday, he has been getting very black stools frequently(4 times today). The haemoglobin level is being taken twice every day and is stable between 15 and 16. What can the problem be? He has 99.4 fever. Other tests are ok like lft. Please help.
