Cholecystitis

Defination of Cholecystitis
Acute cholecystitis is a sudden inflammation of the gallbladder, the small saclike organ located in the upper right-hand side of the abdomen, below the liver that causes severe abdominal pain.

Cause of Cholecystitis
Cholecystitis usually develops when a person has gallstones, rocklike chemical deposits that form inside the gallbladder. If a gallstone blocks the cystic duct, bile becomes trapped in the gallbladder. Chemicals in the trapped bile or a bacterial infection can lead to inflammation of the gallbladder wall.

Symptoms of acute cholecystitis
The Symptoms of acute cholecystitis include:
  • Fever
  • Shaking chills
  • Nausea and/or vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
  • Dark urine


Diagnosis
If you've had any recent rapid weight loss, and about medications you currently take, particularly birth-control pills and estrogen-replacement therapy (because these can lead to the formation of gallstones).
