Chоlecystitis 1. Bаckgrоund Definitiоn: Inflаmmаtion of the gallbladder, most commonly due to cystic duct obstruction by gallstones (calculous cholecystitis). Pathophysiology: Gallstone obstruction → bile stasis → chemical irritation and secondary bacterial infection → gallbladder wall inflammation. Acalculous cholecystitis: Inflammation without stones, seen in critically ill or postoperative patients (due to bile stasis, ischemia, and infection). Common organisms: E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterococcus, Enterobacter. Epidemiology: More common in women, obesity, rapid weight loss, and middle age (“female, fat, forty, fertile”). Acalculous type more common in hospitalized, septic, or trauma patients. 2. History Symptoms: Right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, steady and severe, lasting >6 hours. Pain may radiate to right shoulder or scapula. Associated fever, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. History clues: Often follows a fatty meal. Prior episodes of biliary colic (shorter duration, no fever) may precede cholecystitis. Acalculous: Often occurs in critically ill (e.g., burns, sepsis, trauma, prolonged TPN). 3. Exam Findings Murphy sign: Arrest of inspiration during RUQ palpation due to pain (highly suggestive). RUQ tenderness, guarding, mild distension. Fever and tachycardia common. Jaundice (if choledocholithiasis or Mirizzi syndrome). Acalculous cholecystitis: Often minimal tenderness, but patient appears septic or ill. 4. Making the Diagnosis A. Laboratory Findings Leukocytosis with left shift. Mildly elevated AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin (if inflammation extends to bile ducts). B. Imaging Ultrasound (first-line test): Gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening (>3 mm), pericholecystic fluid, and sonographic Murphy sign. HIDA scan (cholescintigraphy): Gold standard if ultrasound is inconclusive. Non-visualization of gallbladder indicates cystic duct obstruction. CT scan: Useful for complications (empyema, perforation, gangrene). C. Diagnostic Distinctions Condition Key Features Biliary colic Transient cystic duct blockage; pain
