Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disease of the biliary system characterized by inflammation of the gallbladder wall The condition most commonly develops when a gallstone obstructs the cystic duct, causing bile stasis, mucosal irritation, elevated intraluminal pressure, ischemia, and potentially secondary bacterial infection

Cholecystitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory disease of the biliary system characterized by inflammation of the gallbladder wall Clinically, it manifests with persistent right upper quadrant or epigastric abdominal pain—often radiating to the back or right shoulder—accompanied by local tenderness, fever, leukocytosis, and nausea

It predominantly affects adults, with an elevated risk among females and individuals with preexisting gallstones, though it can also arise in critically ill populations without cholelithiasis
