Cholecystitis

What is Cholecystitis?

Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile. This condition usually occurs when a gallstone blocks the bile duct, causing bile to build up and irritate the gallbladder.

Causes of Cholecystitis:

  • Gallstones blocking the cystic duct (most common)
  • Bile duct problems or tumors
  • Infection in the bile ducts
  • Trauma or injury to the gallbladder

Symptoms of Cholecystitis::

  • Severe pain in the upper right abdomen
  • Pain that may spread to the right shoulder or back
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and chills
  • Tenderness over the abdomen

Diagnosis of Cholecystitis:

  • Physical exam and symptom review
  • Ultrasound to detect gallstones and inflammation
  • Blood tests to check for infection and liver function
  • Imaging tests like CT scan or HIDA scan if needed

Treatment of Cholecystitis:

  • Hospitalization for pain control and hydration
  • Antibiotics for infection
  • Fasting to rest the gallbladder
  • Surgery (usually laparoscopic cholecystectomy) to remove the gallbladder if needed
