Gall Bladder Disease
Gall Bladder Disease:
The gallbladder is a small organ that sits under the liver. It stores bile and releases it into the small intestine during digestion. Gall Bladder disease is a common problem that often brings patients into the primary care office or the emergency department. Gallbladder disease includes inflammation, infection, stones, or blockage of the gallbladder. Dr. Vikrant Kale has treated different Gall Bladder disease like Gallstones, Cholecystitis, Choledocholithiasis, and Gall Bladder Cancer, etc.
Type of Gall Bladder Disease We Treated?
- Gallstones: Gallstones are the most frequently occurring form of gallbladder disease. Cholesterol and solidified bile make up these small stones, which form in the gallbladder.
- Cholecystitis: A more severe gallstone blockage inside a bile duct can cause swelling in the gallbladder. The name of this condition is cholecystitis.
- Inflamed gallbladder (cholecystitis): Inflammation of the gallbladder can be caused by gallstones – the most common cause – excessive alcohol use, infections, or even tumors that cause bile buildup. The gallbladder may rupture, which is cause for a surgical emergency.
- Sclerosing cholangitis: A disease of the bile ducts that causes inflammation of the liver, slowing the flow of bile to the gut. This can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, liver failure, or even liver cancer.
- Gallbladder cancer: It is a rare form of cancer that begins in the gallbladder. Because it causes few symptoms early on, it is often not diagnosed until it is at an advanced stage.
Signs and symptoms of Gallbladder disorders:
The symptoms of a gallbladder disorder can vary depending on the type of condition. However, most symptoms start with pain in the upper abdominal area, either in the upper right or middle. Other common symptoms include:
