What is Understanding Cholecystitis Symptoms & Causes about?

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct in over 90% of cases. Symptoms include right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fever. Risk factors include birth control pills, pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, rapid weight loss and liver disease. Diagnosis is typically confirmed by abdominal ultrasound showing gallstones with gallbladder swelling or bile duct distension.
