ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Acute cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gall bladder. The most common cause is the presence of gall stones. It accounts for 3%–10% of all patients with acute abdominal pain, being higher in patients >50 years than in younger patients. More than 80% of patients with cholelithiasis are unaware of their disease and are asymptomatic. Therefore less than 20% of these patients become symptomatic with attacks of biliary colic. Only 20% of these symptomatic patients develop ACC.
