Cholecystitis(Gallbladder)

Cholecystitis is the formal name for inflammation of the gallbladder, a tiny pear-shaped gland under the liver. The gallbladder contains stored bile, a digestive juice that aids in breaking down fats. When the bile flow becomes obstructed, it leads to irritation and infection of the wall of the gallbladder.

The most frequent cause is blocked bile ducts by gallstones, causing buildup of bile, bacterial infection, and intense pain. Cholecystitis can be acute (sudden and severe) or chronic (repeatedly occurring over a period of time).

It may cause serious consequences if not treated, such as rupture of the gallbladder, abscesses, or spread of infection into other organs. In the majority of instances, removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is the solution of choice.

Causes of Cholecystitis

Gallstones obstructing the bile duct
Bacterial infection of the gallbladder
Tumors that cause obstruction of bile flow
Sickness or trauma (particularly following surgery)
Obstruction from scarring or sludge formation
Decreased blood supply to the gallbladder, usually in diabetics or critically ill individuals

Symptoms of Cholecystitis

Severe pain in the upper right abdomen, particularly following fatty food intake
Pain that can be referred to the back or right shoulder
Nausea and vomiting
Fever and chills
Tenderness or bloating in the abdomen
Jaundice (yellow coloration of skin or eyes, in serious cases)
Loss of appetite
Immediate medical care is required if symptoms increase or persist.
