Gall bladder attacks

Gall bladder attacks
Typically, gall bladder attacks stop after 2-3 days and completely disappear after a week. If this doesn’t happen, one can have serious complications. High fever, shivering, significant increase of the number of white cells and stopping of the normal intestine running show inflammation of the gall bladder (abscess), gangrene or breakage of gall bladder wall.

In such situations an urgent operation is required. There is particular sensitivity to the pressure under the right costal arch while breathing. In any case, patients with pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, should immediately contact a doctor who will determine by diagnostic tests if it is some other disease or inflamed gallbladder.
