What is Acute Cholecystitis Overview about?

Acute cholecystitis is usually caused by gallstones obstructing the cystic duct, causing inflammation of the gallbladder. Symptoms include right upper quadrant pain and tenderness. If left untreated, the cystic duct remains blocked, leading to fluid buildup in the gallbladder. Rarely, gallstones can erode through the gallbladder wall into nearby organs like the duodenum. Diagnosis involves blood tests, ultrasound, and other imaging. Treatment is usually surgery to remove the gallbladder.
